“Lady in Red” by Chris de Burgh (1986)
This song inspiration is what some may describe as interesting. Chris de Burgh penned “Lady In Red” to highlight just how husbands don’t seem to remember what clothes their wives had on when they met for the very first time. Interesting to put it mildly.

“In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel (1986)
The actress Rosanna Arquette impressively inspired not just one, but two songs – Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes” and Toto’s “Rosanna”. In the past, Arquette and Gabriel had been living together. Therefore, when “In Your Eyes” was released, many speculated that Arquette was the inspiration behind the song. In contrast, Toto claims Arquette isn’t the subject of the song although she was going out with Steve Porcaro, the band’s keyboardist, during the time the track came out. You decide who the real inspiration is behind the popular song.
