yes, and during the OWN shows they even showed them on the screens...

That's right, although it was during the Crush Tour instead of the OWN. That was the moment when I realised there were all these couples in the song. And they should have added "Rich and Heather" cause it also sounds good hehe.

I always found their "love story" fascinating somewhere if you see what i mean ... i found something where it's a bit explained for those who wants to know ...

By this time Vicious and Spungen had become locked in their own world of drug addiction and self destruction. Contemporary interview footage shows the couple attempting to answer questions from their bed- Spungen is barely coherent whilst Vicious lapses in and out of consciousness. Vicious also came very close to death following a heroin overdose, and was for a while hospitalised.

On the morning of 12th October 1978 Vicious awoke from a drug induced stupour to find Spungen dead in their apartment at the Chelsea Hotel room 100 in New York. She had been killed by a single stab wound to her abdomen. Vicious was arrested and charged with her murder, although claimed to have no memory at all of the previous night's incidents. Bail of $50,000 was put up by Malcolm McLaren, and in February 1979, a party was held at the home of his new girl friend Michelle Robinson to celebrate his release. During his time at Rikers Island prison Vicious had undergone drug rehabilitation therapy, and was supposedly 'clean'. However at the party he was able to obtain some heroin (supplied by his mother, Ann Beverley, herself an ex-addict), and was discovered dead the following morning, having taken a large overdose. Speculation has persisted that Vicious, unable to live without his beloved Nancy, took his own life. He wrote the following poem about her:


You were my little baby girl,
I knew all your fears.
Such joy to hold you in my arms
and kiss away your tears.
But now your gone, theres only pain
and nothing I can do.
And I dont want to live this life,
If I cant live for you.
After his death his ashes were scattered

No they shouldn't - the point is that all the couples in the song are legends....Captain Crash and his girlfriend are comparing themesleves to famous legendary couples...whilst Richie and Heather are a famous couple...they have yet to reach the level of legends in the company of Liz Tayor and Richard Burton.

hell no they shouldnt be in the song

Jon filmed Midnight In Chelesa at the hotel that Nancy was killed. Not too sure if he used the same room but definitely the hotel.
