* "Rocky Top", the {{Bluegrass}} standard (and beloved [[FootballFightSong rally song for University of Tennessee athletics]]) is a HomesicknessHymn about a town called Rocky Top, Tennessee. When the CreatorCouple songwriting team of Boudleaux and Felice Bryant wrote the song in 1967, they just chose a random, evocative name for the fictional town. In 2013, a group approached the tiny mountain town of Lake City, Tennessee with an offer to build a water park there if it changed its name to Rocky Top. After a legal challenge by the estate of the Bryants was thrown out of court, Lake City officially became Rocky Top the next year, gaining it notoriety even though the proposed water park is now stuck in DevelopmentHell.

General clarification on work content
* Several outfits for ''Literature/AmericanGirl'' dolls (and their Canadian counterparts ''Toys/MapleleaGirls'') are seen in illustrations of stories or journals before they're released as part of the character's collection. For example, [[https://americangirl.fandom.com/wiki/Play_Dress_and_Pinafore Samantha's Play Dress and Pinafore]] was illustrated in her book series before it was released as an item for the doll. This is a flexible example, as many of the items are put into the books or journals specifically to be made into collection items.
