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
