“Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is a song by American rock band Deep Blue Something, released in 1995 on their album Home. The song is a reference to the classic Audrey Hepburn movie of the same name, and is sung from the perspective of a young man faced with a potential break-up with his girlfriend. Desperate to find common ground, the singer can only think of a vague memory that they both like the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and argues that that tenuous link between the lovers should serve as enough motivation for them to work out their problems and stay together as a couple.

The film Roman Holiday inspired the lyrics of the song but the author, Todd David Pipes, thought that one of Hepburn’s other films would make a better song title.

In 1996, the song reached the top five in the United States and number one in the United Kingdom.

Here are the lyrics for Deep Blue Something’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”:
You say that we’ve got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we’re falling apart
You’ll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know you just don’t care

CHORUS:
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.”

I see you – the only one who knew me
And now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong
So what now? It’s plain to see we’re over,
And I hate when things are over -
When so much is left undone

CHORUS:
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.”

You say that we’ve got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we’re falling apart
You’ll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know you just don’t care

CHORUS:
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.”

One should not underestimate the power of a little black dress, especially if it’s the iconic sheath worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The dress was sold at auction for more than $800,000. The money went to a charity to build 15 schools in India. The first one opened this week. In life, Hepburn used her celebrity as a UNICEF Goodwill ambassador.

Here are the lyrics for Audrey Hepburn Complex:
Translatored by Ma-Kun, Andrei Cunha

My head is aches terribly
It’s like a deep hangover

This sort of thing always happens
I can’t help it
If you think I do it on purpose
I beg your pardon!
