I really like the song "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White Ts - great writing. Who knew it was inspired by an actual girl named Delilah? Apparently the lead singer met Delilah (Columbia graduate and Olympic hopeful - she has a lot going for her) and was smitten. Despite her having boyfriend, he promised to write the best song of his career - the one that was going to make him famous - and dedicate it to her. Sure enough, it's been nominated for Song of the Year and a Grammy.
Here's the source of his inspiration.
Oh. And she agreed to be his date to the Grammys. Glad to see she's got a little class.

Cute. Makes me want to write a song for my wife...
ReplyDeletethis is THE COOLEST story. i love it.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed listening to her on the easy listening radio station for years. You call her up, tell her a sappy story and then dedicate a song to your loved one. Delilah will then give some really great advice over the airwaves. I'm glad to hear she's picked up running. I always pictured her as being a little older though.
ReplyDeleteYes, a great story indeed. I finally got around to buying the song on iTunes.
ReplyDeleteDoug...I'm speechless.
