Rickie Lee Jones’ 1979 song “Chuck E’s in Love” was singing about Chuck E. Weiss, the same person Tom Waits name-checks in several songs including “Jitterbug Boy” & “Wish I Was In New Orleans”. All three lived at L.A.’s Tropicana Motel in the early 1970s.

The folk-blusey song “House of the Rising Sun” was first recorded in the early 30s, but nobody knows who actually wrote it.
