It might going something like, "Hey there Delilah I can't stand that I'm at work now I just wish I could go back home and injest another poptart and a drink...a drink so I don't have to think...about this song...".

I think Dave Grohl has denied that "My Hero" is about Kurt Cobain. He has newer songs about Cobain, but I thought he was pretty insistent that "My Hero" was not. I don't understand why people care about the Plain White T's muse though...it's one thing if she was already famous. Are we going to do this with every love song released now?

It's creepy that she's going on as the "date" to that singer who wrote a love song about her. I wouldn't dignify that type of stalking, and I don't think my boyfriend would let me.
Yes, stalking.

It's allegedly about Warren Beatty, but Carly Simon refuses to confirm or deny this. Mick Jagger is singing back up. Others:

"Angie" The Rolling Stones about David Bowie's wife
"Dear Prudence" The Beatles about Mia Farrow's sister
"Hey Jude" The Beatles about Julian Lennon
"Peggy Sue" Buddy Holly about his niece Cindy Lou but changed for the drummer's wife Peggy Sue
"Beautiful Boy" The Beatles about Sean Lennon
"Cindy C" Prince about Cindy Crawford
"Athena" The Who about Theresa Russell
"My Hero" The Foo Fighters about Kurt Cobain
"Roseanna" Toto about Roseanna Arquette
"My Sharona" The Knack about a 17-year-old girl named Sharona

And everything Eric Clapton did in the late 60's and early 70's was about George Harrison's wife.
