For our oddity today, we take a look at some songs that have been inspired by true events.   Sources: https://www.nytimes.com/1998/10/06/science/a-glow-in-the-dark-and-a-lesson-in-scientific-peril.html#:~:text=But%20she%20never%20fully%20acknowledged,of%20diseases%20induced%20by%20radiation.  https://www.businessinsider.com/marie-curie-radioactive-papers-2015-8https://blog.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/the-radium-girls/#:~:text=By%20the%20early%20twentieth%20century,cure%20illnesses%2C%20and%20increase%20beauty.  https://www.britannica.com/story/radium-girls-the-women-who-fought-for-their-lives-in-a-killer-workplacehttps://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-oct-04-mn-29114-story.htmlhttps://idnc.library.illinois.edu/?a=d&d=DIL19380728.2.15&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN----------https://www.nprillinois.org/equity-justice/2018-01-25/the-radium-girls-an-illinois-tragedyhttps://www.nist.gov/blogs/taking-measure/new-jerseys-radium-girls-and-nist-trained-scientist-who-came-their-aidhttps://explorethearchive.com/the-radium-girlshttps://www.theradiumgirls.com/the-girlshttps://www.npr.org/2014/12/28/373510029/saved-by-a-bad-taste-one-of-the-last-radium-girls-dies-at-107https://history.howstuffworks.com/historical-events/radium-girls.htmhttps://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/tumwater-wa/mabel-williams-6529794https://www.nprillinois.org/equity-justice/2018-01-25/the-radium-girls-an-illinois-tragedyhttps://jeremywadedelle.com/https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/articles/features/song_stories_the_real_inspiration_behind_smooth_criminal_by_michael_jackson-149552https://murderpedia.org/female.S/s/spencer-brenda.htm
