* TheWalrusWasPaul: On the subject of "American Pie", the only concrete explanation [=McLean=] had given for many years was that it means he'll never have to work again. He had admitted that the line "February made me shiver/with every paper I'd deliver" was about him learning about the deaths of Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens while he was folding papers for his paper route. However, when he had his original manuscript of the lyrics auctioned in 2015, he included his original writer's notes in the sale, and also provided a more detailed explanation of the lyrics in the sale catalog notes. This confirmed many speculations and debunked others.

''American Pie'' is a 1971 album by Music/DonMcLean. It was [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel his second, more successful album]] after his more moderately received debut album, ''Tapestry'' (1970). It's best remembered for "American Pie", a CelebrityElegy written about the young death of rock 'n' roll stars Music/BuddyHolly, Music/RitchieValens and Music/TheBigBopper. Although the singer has long admitted it's mostly about the death of these three musicians, other parts of the lyrics remained ShroudedInMyth for years, as [=McLean=] himself always refused to comment on its deeper meaning... until 2015 (see "The Walrus Was Paul" below). "American Pie" has become the singer's SignatureSong, though the long song was [[SecondVerseCurse originally released on a dual-sided single and radio stations back then only played the first part]]. "Vincent" also had some success, [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff albeit more in the United Kingdom]] where it even became a number 1 hit song over "American Pie".
