what about breakfast at tiffany's song

“Breakfast at Tiffany’s” can refer to two different music things: the 1961 movie song “Moon River,” and the 1990s alt‑rock single “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” by Deep Blue Something, which is what most people mean when they say “that Breakfast at Tiffany’s song.”

The Deep Blue Something song

  • “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is a 1995 alternative rock song by American band Deep Blue Something, released on their album Home.
  • It became their only major U.S. hit, reaching number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1996 and getting heavy 90s radio and MTV rotation.

What the song is about

  • The lyrics are from the viewpoint of a guy whose relationship is falling apart because his partner feels they have nothing in common.
  • Desperate to find something shared, he brings up the Audrey Hepburn film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” and she says, “I think I remember the film,” so he argues that liking it is “the one thing we’ve got.”

Inspiration behind it

  • Interestingly, the songwriter Todd Pipes has said the story was actually inspired more by the Hepburn film “Roman Holiday,” but he felt “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” worked better as a song title and hook.
  • This gives the track a kind of meta‑pop‑culture feel: it name‑checks one classic movie while being emotionally sparked by another.

The song in forums and pop culture

  • Online, people still quote the hook line in threads about the film, sometimes just posting: “I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany’s / She said I think I remember the film” as a meme or callback.
  • On music forums, there are recurring debates over whether the song is secretly sad (a breakup that’s already done) or hopeful (a last‑ditch attempt at a second chance).

Not to confuse with “Moon River”

  • The movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s is famous for the song “Moon River,” written by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer and sung by Audrey Hepburn in the film.
  • “Moon River” won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and became a standard, but it’s a different song entirely from the 90s rock track “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”

TL;DR: The “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” song most people ask about is the 1995 Deep Blue Something alt‑rock track about a couple trying to save a failing relationship by clinging to one shared cultural reference: liking the Audrey Hepburn movie.
