Elton John:

Philadelphia Freedom
Don't Go Breaking My Heart
Little Jeannie
Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word
Rocket man

On Little Jeannie it sounds like he was really in love with a woman at that time in his life. That's a song that I don't hear much of at all on the radio anymore and Elton said he doesn't perform it much in his concerts.

well, he was probably writing in character or something.

In the mid-80's, Culture Club recorded a song called "God Thank You Woman", with lyrics that made you wonder "is Boy George into girls?" and then years later he said he wrote the song as a dedication to his mother

;) Don't worry. I forgot "Stiletto," and that would have probably been in my top three had remembered to include it.
