How to Know Your Love is Deep and Abiding

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 the one thing we’ve got.”

–Deep Blue Something, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”

Truly, that is the song of a committed couple whose love will stand the test of time.

I’d embed the video here, since it’s like a bowl of shredded Wonder Bread in milk, but Universal Music Group doesn’t believe in allowing embedding, so I’ll just link to it instead.

Man, the 1990s were a terrible time for pop songs about love.

    The only one problem is that, despite the trite and kinda-sad meaning behind that song it had a fairly good hook.
    It was catchy. I remember singing it long after I heard it the first time. I’m pretty sure, w/o listening to it, that I could recall it even now.

    Their relationship might not last, but a good hook is worth the breakup. :)

    I admit that I never really paid attention to the lyrics, but I always assumed the superficial nature of them both kind of liking the movie was the whole point of the song.

    The hook is certainly enough to drag you along. Since I heard a snippet of it a few days ago I’ve been unable to get it out of my head. Thankfully, it has such deep things to teach us. “It’s plain to see we’re over, and I hate when things are over.” Me too, Deep Blue Something, me too.
