Which 1995 song made American band Deep Blue Something a US one-hit wonder?

The story behind the answer

“Breakfast at Tiffany’s” made Deep Blue Something a US one-hit wonder in 1995. The song is a melodic alternative-rock track whose narrator compares a strained relationship with the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Written by band member Todd Pipes, the song first appeared on the independent album 11th Song. After the band signed with Interscope Records, it was re-recorded and issued on the album Home. The single reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100 and became an international hit.

The title refers to the 1961 film starring Audrey Hepburn, which was adapted from Truman Capote’s novella. The lyrics mention the movie as a point of connection between two people, not because the song retells its plot. Deep Blue Something had other releases, but none approached this single’s mainstream success.
