Was an interesting doc on bbc4 a while back on Neil Sedaka
After his initial success his career disappeared completely when the Beatles came along and in the late 60's he spent 3 years playing Northern working mens clubs just to make a living.

Bull In A China Shop by Barenaked Ladies is actually about the execution of Perillos of Athens in his own invention, the brazen bull, by Pharalis the tyrant of Akragas.

Tainted Love despite being originally recorded in 1965 was actually prophetic and about AIDS, as witnessed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GUnUGKgWDY

I used to think Sedaka looked like a bit of a perv,possibly a shirt lifter,but I see he's been married to the same woman over 50 years with two kids and three grandchildren.

I doubt anything Neil Sedaka wrote would have been about a woman.
Though apparently he is not gay.
