Plain White T's "Hey There, Delilah"

[Brian_Wallace]

Am I the only one (who isn't sick of it by now) who thinks this is really great song?  Really simple but the best ones are.
 
 It's like the great Ryan Adams crossover single everyone's waiting for.  Maybe it's a heart-on the-sleeve guy thing.  "I'd walk to you if I had no other way."
 
 Plus, I'm a sucker for songs with GREAT back stories and this one has a GREAT back story.  It involves the greatest Ivy League steeplechaser EVER!

unfortunately i've heard it and i think it's terrible.

I detest this song.  It is boring and annoying and I can't get away from it.  It's not even original or well-written.

You honestly discredit yourself more and more with each and every post.

No.  It's a great song.  "Girlfriend" is an awful song.  
 
 I'm sorry it isn't a hugely popular, No. 1 song like "Smashing Pumpkins'" "Tarantula."
 
 Is thinking that someone is discrediting themselves something hipsters do?

I liked it the first couple times I heard it, most for it's simplicity.  But after a few listens I've found it rather trite.  And since I don't listen the radio that often, that's not from overplay.  I don't hate it though.
 
 That being said, I have been tempted to download the single from emusic.

I'm surprised Vansmack hasn't linked to  this.

How did that get through your government screened computer?

Huh? I haven't heard it, but I'm guessing this is an unnecessary comparison. By the way, who's waiting?
 (Although, Regis and Kelly are super excited for their appearance tomorrow!)

This song is pretty good, I have to admit. Not brilliant, but an absolute breath of fresh air next to the umpteen Hoobastanks, Nickelbacks, and grunting, guttural fifth-gen Vedders that have clogged the mainstream rock airwaves for the last decade.
 
 Hey There, Delilah: thanks for not sounding like music by and for developmentally challenged 12-year-olds with violent tendencies. Good job.

I just listened to it on MySpace.  First time hearing it.  I'm certainly not afraid of pop, but it's not doing anything for me.  I'll give it a few more listens and see if I begin to love or hate it (or remain indifferent).
 
 Woo hoo, they're on a big amusement park tour sweeping across America.
 
 By the way, if you're a big fan, there's a message from Tom in the band on the MySpace page:  here  Apparently the message is that they've added "Hey Delilah" to their album.  A la XTC's late addition of "Dear God" to Skylarking when that single took off....
