Clapton's Wonderful Tonight / Jovi's You Had Me From Hello
Has anyone else noticed the uncanny similarity in the story told in these songs.
Maybe I'm reading to much into it. Here are the lyrics. What dod you think? 1st Verse Wonderful Tonight It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear. She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair. And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?" And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight." You Had Me At Hello At the mirror you fix your hair and put your makeup on You're insecure about what clothes to wear I can't see nothing wrong To me you look so beautiful when you can't make up your mind It's half past eight, it's getting late It's OK, take your time (pretty obvious that both versus are about getting ready to go out) 2nd Verse Wonderful Tonight We go to a party and everyone turns to see This beautiful lady that's walking around with me. And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?" And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight." You Had Me At Hello When we walk into a crowded room it's like we're all alone Everybody tries to kidnap your attention You just smile and steal the show You come to me and take my hand We start dancin' slow You put your lips up to my ear and whisper way down low (ok, now they both go to a party and then the girl comes and talks to the boy) There really is no third verse comparison because "You Had Me.." only has two real versus. Obviously, these songs sound pretty different, but I do think that this song influences Jon. Of course it's been well documented that this song stemmed from his time on Ally McBeal, but I wouldn't be surprised if he admitted it at some point. ***OK - I'm a HUGE moron. Thank you to Derek Bliss for correctly pointing out that "You Had Me At Hello" was inspired by Jerry McGuire. I'm totally embarassed and feel like I've lost a ton of credibility as a true fan. I ask for this message board's forgiveness for such an obvious error.  ***Regards, -t
