1. Buddy Holly
2. Song was inspired by American Pie. Killing Me Softly was a tribute to American Pie singer Don MacLean.
3. Concerning the meaning of the song, McCartney has stated that he "was writing about someone like Maharishi" - a person who is called a fool by many but is in fact wise.
Alistair Taylor, in the book Yesterday, reports a mysterious incident involving a man who inexplicably appeared near him and McCartney during a walk on Primrose Hill and then disappeared again, soon after McCartney and Taylor had conversed about the existence of God; this allegedly prompted the writing of the song.

American Pie is referring to the plane crash that killed Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, and "The Big Bopper", (J.P. Richardson)

Killing Me Softly was inspired by a poem by Lori Lieberman, written about Don McLean.

The Fool on the Hill was written after a discussion about God.
