* ReferencedBy: In ''Anime/WhisperOfTheHeart'', Shizuku attempts to write a Japanese-language translation for "Take Me Home, Country Roads" for her school choir, but has trouble coming up with something satisfying; at one point, she instead crafts parody lyrics about the oppressive bleakness of overurbanization. The film is also {{bookend|s}}ed by different {{cover version}}s of the song: Music/OliviaNewtonJohn's English-language rendition at the start (as it was a big hit in Japan), and Creator/YokoHonna's Japanese-language rendition at the end.

* WriteWhatYouKnow: You'd be surprised to learn how many of John's original songs owe their existence to this trope. Some key examples:
** "This Old Guitar" is about his very first guitar, which his grandma had given to him when he was a boy.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB9uDFb5C9M "Love Again"]] was written after he met his second wife, Cassandra, following his divorce from Annie.
** "Seasons of the Heart" foreshadows the aforementioned separation; likewise, "Falling Out of Love" deals with the aftermath.

* ChartDisplacement: He has topped both the country and Hot 100 charts multiple times, but "Take Me Home, Country Roads", one of his {{signature song}}s, did neither — it only got to #2 on the Hot 100 and '''#50''' on the country charts. "Rocky Mountain High" also got to #9 on the Hot 100, and didn't make the country charts at all, but it's still not unheard of to hear the song on a country station.
