Unlike the West Coast where my bro lives, "Hey There Delilah" made popular by rich Chicago suburban kids Plain White T's destroyed and desocrated the radio station airwaves with this mind-numbing tune in the Midwest. Specifically in the greater Milwaukee area. It was practically the "song of the summer" for every teenager from June to August. Every time this cry baby ballad came on, it made my heart sink, but not for the ohh this song is beautiful" reaction the rest of the world felt. More like "what did I do to deserve this!"
First of all, the CD the song debuted on came out in 2006. Why in the world is it surfacing in the mainstream now? The fact that this kid who wrote the song sings about a girl that should finish school, and when you are done I'll be rich living off this song and we'll live together forever is pretty pathetic.
I can handle accoustic singles and songs fine, but when you overplay the same single every day, and on every radio station, that's borderline torture. Also, since the band made it big off of this single, are they expected to play this quiet little number at every show?
I can picture it: 1500 teen girls with their MOTORZR cellphones in the air. Half the crowd shooting pictures with the 1.5 megapixel camera, half the crowd calling their boyfriends "HONEY I LOVE YOU! CAN YOU HEAR IT??? ITS SOO WONDERFUL"
Thankfully, they will fade away. When, I don't know. The sooner the better.
