I can imagine it feels pretty good to have a song written about you — unless of course it's an angry breakup anthem. Some of the best love songs (and antilove songs) have true stories behind them, so in honor of the Grammy Awards this weekend, can you guess who these songs are rumored to be written about?

7/3. I'm pretty sure Billy Joel wrote Uptown Girl about Christie Brinkley.
16/10 Guessed Pattie Boyd whenever she came up
2Waaaait — I thought "Much Better" was written about Taylor Swift AND Camilla Belle. Um, not that I know anything about the Jonas Brothers. . .
3Deny it to the death, Buzz
4Yeah, Uptown Girl was definitely for Christie Brinkley. I'm a big Billy fan!
56/10
6I had no idea Billy Joel dated Elle McPherson.
4/10
7The only one I actually knew was Alanis.
8Buzz, I think you are thinking that because at one of the concerts he changed the lyrics so it would sound like it was intended for Camille Belle. I think it was shortly after they broke up.
9Uptown Girl was written for Christie!
10Billy wrote the song for Christie I read it in many interviews and she is in the video too!!
11Billy Joel dated Elle McPherson before Christie Brinkley? I didn't know that. What was she like 18? That was the very early 80s. Surely not.
12I just Googled the "Uptown Girl" question, and he did write the song about Elle MacPherson. It was a surprise to me as well.
13Hah, Layla...possibly one of the weirdest love triangles in music history.
