Delilah DiCrescenzo is a runner who was also the inspiration for the song "Hey there Delilah" by the Plain White Tees.
She is an Olympic hopeful and at the same time responsible for a really annoying song. She isn't dating the singer of the song, and never was. But she is going with him to the Grammys next week because she hopes to, and I quote:
"humanize track and field before this summer's Olympics in Beijing"
Awww. That is so sweet.
I was going to say something about how I wished she was never born because that song gets on my last nerve and everywhere I went last summer it was on but I changed my mind. I feel sorry for her. Having a song like that written about me and having to hear it everywhere would annoy the crap outta me. I can't imagine how she feels. Having a song like "Layla" or "Wonderful Tonight" would be one thing...but "Hey there Delilah"? Not so much. Pattie Boyd she is not. Poor thing.
Anyways you can see the whole interview with her here if you are so inclined. She's kinda cute and like I said, pity her, don't hate her. Forever she will be reminded of that guy who hit on her with the line:
" 'I have a song about you already.' Obviously, there was no song. But I thought it was smooth..."
God. Lame.
[Ed. Note: All along I thought the song was about this Delilah. Man was I off.]
Labels: annoying, hey there SHUT THE FUCK UP, kickin lyrics straight to your brain, sort of related to sports
who the hell are the Plain White Tees? If you're gonna blog about music, how about some Genesis?
Now that was a band!
Why do all the Chris' want me to be unhappy? Why?
That was the Chris that usually sucks up too. Bummer
I like the song. Nowhere near as annoying as "My Charona".
I can't win with any of the Chris'.
Time to drink that Drano.
When I hear "Times Square can't shine as bright as you"...i want to dress up as Delilah and find the lead singer/songwriter and pummel him to death.
It's one of the most annoying songs ever....My Sharona was trying to be sort of silly. This is trying to be sincere and deep. That's why it sucks.
I'll get started on the dressing up part now I guess.
You can win with me Lauren, just admit
1. Cowboys are not Americas team and in fact one of the most hated teams in the NFL
2. The Cowboys cheerleaders are way past their peak
3. Jerry Jones is a joke
is that too much to ask?
Not because I want to win with you BUT to prove that not all Cowboy fans are the same:
1) No, the Cowboys are not America's team. However, I will still use that term when I am obviously trying to be obnoxious and/or am drunk.
2) I do NOT agree that the DCC is past their peak. There are quite a few attractive girls on the squad. Just like there are on the other squads (except the Colts).
3) Yes Jerry Jones is a joke. Just be glad you don't live in this area and have to see EVERY commercial his crazy ass is in.
See? We are not all the same. Just like Matt Ufford says:
People who get offended or take too much pride in their favorite team should probably just leave now, because I hate you already.
Wow I am shocked. I thought my olive branch would be snapped and thrown back in my face.
1. Well done
2. Of course theres some cute girls, they are professional cheerleaders. However, as the DCC were once far and away #1, they are now middle of the pack
3. Haha, yes that is one of many reasons I am very happy I dont live in Dallas.
Im very impressed Lauren. Next thing I know you'll be telling me youre letting Redskins fans play with your boobs ;)
