Carl Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 This makes me wonder - have any other songs come true. I know you can say that Kurt Cobain sang about killing himself and then did it or Brian Johnson sang about drinking and then drank, but how about a song that tells a story, then it plays out in real life. As reported in the Times-Dispatch: When Rupert Holmes wrote "Escape," better known as "The Pina Colada Song," he couldn't have guessed he was practically psychic. Or that not all such experiences would end on a lovely beach at sunset. Bakr Melhem of Jordan spent three months flirting with a married woman through an Internet chat room. When they finally met in person a couple of weeks ago, he recognized his would-be online paramour as his wife, Sanaa. According to Jordanian news agency Petra, Melhem immediately shouted three times (in Arabic), "I divorce thee!" His wife called him a liar just before she fainted.

RonJonSurfer Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I always thought Billy Joel's Miami 2017 came true in many ways. CCR's Fortunate son predicted some things for JFK, JR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryansgirl319 Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Just an aside: If you see Rupert Holmes out somewhere, and you think "oh, how clever an original I would be if I sent him a Pina Colada!" DON"T do it--He HATES Pina Coladas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryansgirl319 Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 How the hell do you send someone a Pina Colada? You order the drink and have a waitress take it to Rupert. Did you think I meant mail him a Pina Colada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
