	Probably I;m wrong but... About a girl who wanted fame and didn't get it? Think the American Dream... going to Hollywood to become an actress, failing? Just an idea...

	...and 2mins 35secs into the vid, there's a shot of a bicycle..."there are 9 million bicycles in Beijing"...QED!

	I don't know what the significance of this is, or if the Joyce reference is referring to an old song of Irish background, but in Ulysses I regarded the following passage as being referenced in this song: THE MOTH: I'm a tiny tiny thing Ever flying in the spring Round and round a ringaring. Long ago I was a king Now I do this kind of thing On the wing, on the wing! Bing! (HE RUSHES AGAINST THE MAUVE SHADE, FLAPPING NOISILY) Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty petticoats. Interesting? Eh?

	ive known these guys for a little while and i was like wow they're awesome and then i was watching the OC this week and they played this song at the end. if these guys get overplayed like youth group did i'll get majorly cut.

No Picture Maury N Rhythm Player	#6 by Maury N . at Sep 27, 2006 at 9:27 PM EST
	i heard recently luke changing the words to. "dont go to hollywood" so maybe he is still hurt by katie trying it out in hollywood and it not working out. and therefore things between them two really got messed up.

	awwwwwwwwwwwsome!

No Picture JMoore Wanna Be	#10 by JMoore at Nov 28, 2006 at 1:48 PM EST
	wow... that reference is quite wierd. The song otherwise i think is about the whole fame aspect, and him adviceing against it, saying how it just uses females (which it generally does)

No Picture GRIM Professional	#11 by GRIM at Dec 12, 2006 at 7:45 PM EST
	...I remember hearing Luke Pritchard being hailed as the 'new' Bob Dylan. rolls eyes

	concept-matt...is going to hollywood really the american dream? first time i heard of that!

No Picture RHCP Average	#15 by RHCP freak at Jun 1, 2007 at 11:51 AM EST
	on the acoustic album luke says he doesn't really know what this songs about and he supposes it's just about getting abused. But it seems pretty obvious to me that it's about katie melua.

No Picture Brian Wanna Be	#16 by Brian "The Funkmaster" at Jun 8, 2007 at 12:04 PM EST
	cracking song. i agree with wookie, katie melua is lead singer's ex, and my hunch is "ooh-la" is a thinly veiled disguise of "melua"...but then im often wrong!

No Picture Devon Average	#17 by Devon Stuart at Jun 28, 2007 at 3:27 AM EST
	This song is so good! The beginning is just wow...and his voice and how it just runs so smoothy across the sentences..I love it. So catchy

No Picture GENT BENT Wanna Be	#18 by GENT BENT at Aug 4, 2007 at 5:35 PM EST
	wook...i.e, that's right, but katie melua is from georgia, she's just succesful in the UK

No Picture Daniel Average	#19 by Daniel Gordon at Aug 20, 2007 at 7:00 PM EST
	I love this song, but I don't get the "petticoat" thing.

No Picture John Lead Player	#20 by John Bombara at Aug 22, 2007 at 1:13 PM EST
	couldn't it be about katie melua?
