Walking to show commitment was the point of the song...

Also, the very next line in Hey There Delilah is "I'd walk to you if I had no other way."

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 20 points 2 years ago

"Just to be the guy that walked 500 miles". Not exactly subtle.

"I would nap 1 hour in air travel first class, and I would nap 1 hour more, just to be that guy who napped 2 hours and took a taxi to you door."

Ah man, you're right, the post isn't funny anymore

Did you notice we never got details where he walked the second 500 miles? He may walked in one direction. Then he found out she lives next to him and walked the whole 500 miles back!

This is basically the SpongeBob pizza delivery episode

...oh my God! You're right

To be fair, he did say he'd walk to her if he had no other way. However, since there are said planes, trains and cars, he's just being efficient.

Today I found out it's 'Hey there Delilah' and not 'Hey dirty lilah'.

Hey maybe proofread your memes?

The meme economy will not be regulated.

I walked 500 miles once. Took like a month. It's called the Camino de Santiago

[–] ItsABarmcake@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Ffs Now I've got this song in my head
