Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Breakfast at Tiffany's. By Songfacts®.

Deep Blue Something lead singer Todd Pipes was inspired to write this song after seeing Audrey Hepburn in the film Roman Holiday, but he thought "Breakfast at Tiffany's" would be a better title.

Breakfast at Tiffany's is a 1961 movie based on a book by Truman Capote. It starred Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, a high-priced escort looking for a rich man to marry. The movie made the song "Moon River" famous.

The song is a humorous and optimistic look at a failing relationship. One partner focuses on how different the two people are and how they aren't going to last as a couple: You say that we've got nothing in common No common ground to start from And we're falling apart The other partner, however, focuses on one small detail they have in common which is that they both like the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. The speaker clings to this one detail and repeats it five times as the chorus in the song: And I said, "What about Breakfast at Tiffany's" She said, "I think I remember the film" and as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it And I said, "Well, that's one thing we got" (thanks, Margot - Madison, NJ)
