Most songs written about?

[tali1]

Is there a person(s)/group, incident or event that has had the most songs written about?

[ELVIS68]

Happy Birthday

[Mortartube]

Love is would guess including the whole falling in love to the break up scenario.

I would say perhaps the Vietnam War. Or certain Bible stories.
Also, there are certain characters that crop up in a lot of Blues music, off the top of my head there's "Stagger Lee", although having said that, most are cover versions.

[T&S]

Patti Boyd has had 4 songs written about her:

Something (George Harrison when in The Beatles)
Layla / Wonderful Tonight (Eric Clapton)
Lady D'arbanville (Cat Stevens)

Popular lady!

If you do a search for 'songs about Martin Luther King' there seems to be dozens about or dedicated to him. I admit to not recognising a lot of them but Happy Birthday by Stevie Wonder and Pride ( in the name of love ) by U2 are probably two of the best known ones.

why not ask for one for each

person/grop

incident

event.

now i'm not sure where love fits in. event?

[sg]

Love doesn't count as a person(s)/group, incident or event though.
It may be an incident in some cases though.

I agree that love has the most songs written about it, by a very long way ; but it's a feeling / emotion and so doesn't fit into any the categories asked for.
People are just offering suggestions so unbunch your panties and go and lie down with a large drink!

[no-knowledge]

A. wouldn't i spill it?
B. how did you know i was wearing panties?
C. but Happy Birthday by Stevie Wonder and Pride ( in the name of love ) by U2 are probably two of the best known ones.


wtf?

[yinyang]

A - Put the drink on the floor and use a very long straw
B - I have binoculars and you always leave your blinds open when you dress up
C - yes. my punctuation did go missing on that last post; or did you mean you have never heard of those songs?

No.knowledge, as far as I'm aware you and I have never fallen out so I don't quite understand why you've taken such umbrage at my attemp to answer a question..

[tali1]

As the OP - EVERYDAY emotions like Love or EVERYDAY events like a birthday are NOT INCLUDED

[no-knowledge]
