I like the sound of that song, but the story behind it is incredibly creepy.

QuoteThe song, "Hey There Delilah" was inspired by Delilah DiCrescenzo, a Columbia University graduate, and steeplechase runner training for the 2008 Olympic trials.

There was never a relationship between Tom Higgenson and DiCrescenzo, but Tom was inspired to write a song about her soon after they were introduced by a mutual friend:

" There was never anything between us. It was kind of funny — kind of sad, actually. The story of my life... I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I told her, 'I have a song about you already.' Obviously, there was no song. But I thought it was smooth... "

It took over a year for Tom to write the song. However, the real life Delilah, who wasn't interested in Tom because she was already in a relationship, was not sure how to deal with the pressure of having a song written about her:

" It was so beautifully written. There was pressure to live up to this ideal. I didn't know how to be polite but, you know, ditch him. "

DiCrescenzo also says of the song,

" When I'm at the gym, it's playing; when I'm at the pool, it's playing. Part of me wants to scream at the top of my lungs that it's about me. Another part of me wants to cower and say it's not.'

Alice, your friend's little brother is kind of a creepy stalker.

Huh.  My friends little brother isn't Tom Higgenson.  Apparently either my friend lied to me or his brother lied to him.  I do know his brother is in the band though.

I just listened to the song.  I agree with ReBurn, and I'll go one step further and say I want to punch the producer in the face for trying to polish that turd with a cheesy string section.

It would've worked fine if (Benny) other people (Benny) would've done the same thing (Benny) when they hit reply.

Do you call him Mike Retardo?  I think I probably would.  I know it's wrong and stuff, but still.

Post by: Alice on October 02, 2007, 09:31:48 AM
I've only met him once.  And no. 
Title: Re: Someone is a huge suckup...

If you meet him again, will you?  For me?  Please?
Title: Re: Someone is a huge suckup...

And then punch him in Target?

Sure, I'll call him Retardo.

Okay yeah, I just listened to the first half of the song and nearly snorted when the strings broke in.

I have no idea what that means.  Was she once a child beauty pageant star?  Did anyone abduct or kill her?  I just don't get it!
