Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" is famous for telling the true story of how "some stupid with a flare gun" burned down the concert venue at the casino in Montreux, Switzerland, during a Frank Zappa concert in 1971.
It was a good era in which to sing about how a song came to be. I can't imagine anything written about current record-producing efforts becoming a hit:
"ProTools Is My Savior"
"Check Out This Riff I Heard Somewhere"
"My Uncle Owns the Studio"
"I Hit One Note/The Rest Is Computer Enhancement"
"Artificial Intelligence Is My Writing Partner"
"I'm the Lead Singer Because I Fit the Costume"
"We Spent a Month Customizing the Software"
