“Jersey Girl” by Tom Waits (1980)
Tom Waits had been creating music for the soundtrack of the movie One from the Heart in New Jersey when he met Kathleen Brennan, an artist and a musician. And that was all it took. The duo fell in love and became crazy about each other. Waits wrote the track “Jersey Girl” and he and Brennan got married in the year that the song was released. Their family grew to five and they often do collaborations together. Both the E Street Band and Bruce Springsteen have covered the song.
