All that I know is the actual Delilah eventually found him extremely creepy. Because it was her actual name and suddenly she was famous against her will. And yes she went to the vma’s.
“The song was written by frontman Tom Higgenson after meeting Delilah DiCrescenzo, a nationally ranked American steeplechase and cross country runner,[6] through a mutual friend around 2002.
Higgenson stated: "I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, I told her, 'I have a song about you already.' Obviously, there was no song. But I thought it was smooth." DiCrescenzo turned him down. Although she was dating somebody else at the time, she kept in touch with Higgenson. A year later, he had finished the song. About the actual writing, Higgenson said: "Because I wasn't with Delilah, I had to imagine, 'If I was with this girl, what would I want to tell her?'" In late 2004, Higgenson brought DiCrescenzo a disc with the finished song.
DiCrescenzo stated she found it difficult to deal with the popularity of a song written about her. "When I'm at the gym, it's playing; when I'm at the pool, it's playing. Part of me wants to scream at the top of my lungs that it's about me. Another part of me wants to cower and say it's not. [...] It was so beautifully written. There was pressure to live up to this ideal. I didn't know how to be polite but, you know, ditch him."[7]”
And I didn’t mean to have this karma. My interactions are largely on auctions, I had a post become the number 1 post on Reddit for over 24 hours. It had something like 50 million upvotes. I give zero fucks about karma, cactus and food.
Please downvote me. When I had over 100k people were being weird.
