| Facts about your Favorite Music SUMMARY: Learn all kinds of trivia about your favorite tunes.
Did you know Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" has been covered by U2, Frank Zappa, and Dolly Parton? The Eagles' "Hotel California" contains a reference to the band Steely Dan? The Beatles' song "Taxman" was actually inspired by the campy 1960s television show "Batman"?
These facts, and so much more, are available at Songfacts - http://www.songfacts.com/. You can search its song database by title, artist, songs inspired by television shows, and those featuring a horn section. A "Top 10" and "Feature Song" is also available for those just wanting to browse. Plus, if you think you know a lot about music trivia, a game can test your knowledge.
Songfacts is interactive; you can add comments on every song fact detail page, but registration is required to post. In fact, some of the readers' comments can be more informative than the original facts themselves!
Quick tip: Not sure which song to pull up? There's a "Random" link at the bottom of each page.
