Plain White T’s “Hey There Delilah” Is Being Adapted for TV

Wow what do you think the theme song will be?

 

I just learned this song was produced by Ariel Rechtshaid. Wow, he's come a long way since then.

 

Just... so... weird.

I get if someone listened to Hey There Delilah and thought "I should make a TV show about a long-distance relationship" but why specifically about the song?

Will Delilah live in New York City? Will her boyfriend be a musician who will pay the bills with his guitar? Will he walk to her if he has no other way? Will he be 1,000 miles away? Will they fix the grammatical error in the song title? So many questions that need answering!

Still a good song. Overplayed when it finally hit the mainstream, but when I go back and listen I appreciate it again now.

 

I heard Lifetime was creating a TV movie based on “Face Down” by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus as well.

 

"Cupid's Chokehold" - Gym Class Heroes

 

10 years too late?

 

Well it became a single forever after it was released so this is fitting haha

 

This show was a mistake just for reminding me of RJA

 

Good for them.

 

Do you feel like a man when you push them around?

 

At the time that this album came out, I heard a rumor that the song was about this girl I knew that he had apparently been with on tour. I have zero indication that any of it was true, nor does it matter but I knew she was a girl that hung around the scene often and she had a photo with him at a show. The story was told to me right before my friends played me the song, well before it became popular, so the story always just stuck in my head.

Anyway, it is really weird that they are making a TV show about this song.

 

‘Stop’ is a fantastic album. Alkaline Trio’s Halloween at the Metro show was my first show ever at the Metro in Chicago, but PWT’s were my second show ever there. Armor For Sleep opened up for them too!

So crazy thinking about this!

 

"California" - phantom planet

 

Just to clarify, it was about runner Delilah DiCrescenzo. The lead singer ran into her at a party and told her he would write a song about her. She had a boyfriend and they never went out. But she did go with the band to the Grammys because of it.

 

Honestly, the only time I've ever listened to a song and thought the plot should be adopted into a film/tv show was "The Freshmen" by The Verve Pipe.

 

What about "Albuquerque" by Weird Al?

 

This is America

 

I want someone to get the rights to OMC's "How Bizarre" so they can make a show out of that and finally give that story a proper ending.

 

I was sitting in an empty terminal at MSP airport when this song came on a couple weeks ago. I was like really? Ithought people were long over this song and wondered if they were still a band

 

I had heard a story that the song was about a girl who had broken up with him wayyyy before he wrote the song and it was a really creepy stalker song that made her life difficult. Seeing some posts above, I guess I heard wrong?
