• songwriter Bernie Taupin said that "Tiny Dancer" wasn't about one woman in particular, but instead the women he saw in L.A.: "We came to California in the fall of 1970, and sunshine radiated from the populace. I was trying to capture the spirit of that time, encapsulated by the women we met–especially at the clothes stores up and down the Strip in L.A. They were free spirits, sexy in hip-huggers and lacy blouses, and very ethereal, the way they moved.They were just so different from what I’d been used to in England. They had this thing about embroidering your clothes. They wanted to sew patches on your jeans. They mothered you and slept with you. It was the perfect Oedipal complex"

• Tom Petty's wife told Stevie Nicks she met him at "the age of seventeen", but her southern accent was so thick Stevie thought she said "the edge of seventeen". She asked if she could use it in a song.
• after the death of her uncle and the murder of John Lennon during the same week, Stevie wrote about her grief resulting from these tragedies, but decided to keep the song title

• Producer Stock Aitken Waterman worked on You Spin Me Round for 36 hours straight (fueled by cocaine). Dead or Alive frontman Pete Burns said: "It was the sound of the underground.
