    Story Behind the Song
    I was inspired to write this after four months in Singapore. McDonald's ran a promotion where, for $4.95 and the purchase of an Extra Value Meal, you could get plush Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel in various Asian wedding garb.

    Singaporeans literally camped out for these dolls. They were skipping work, ditching school, and just giving away McDonald's food to "collect all five" sets. In my little world, This warrants a song.

    I wrote "Dear Daniel" in one day, and recorded it in two. Hope you like it!

    Lyrics
    I think I'm in love -- I met a girl
    Way across the world
    In a land far far away
    When we talk
    I use my hands 'cause she don't understand
    a single word that I say
    Now you might think I'm crazy
    Or think that I'm a dangerous man
    Well frankly that's okay
    I didn't think you'd understand

    Strange as it seems
    I'm Dear Daniel in my dreams
    Making love to Hello Kitty everyday
    She's soft and she's round
    And she doesn't make a sound
    But I know that she loves me anyway

    She's got no mouth
    And she's kind of shy
    She doesn't talk to other guys
    And makes me feel real secure
    I want to thank the ingenious man
    Somewhere in Japan
    For making me just for her
    Now I know you think I'm crazy
    You think I've lost my mind
    But don't you know this girl's got half the world
    Standing in a line?

    [chorus]

    I've got no regrets
    I feel no shame
    That we're not the same
    Cause I know that we're meant to be
    I'm not gonna let the simple fact
    that I'm not a cat
    Get between her and me

    So you can tell me I'm crazy
    And recommend a shrink
    But she and I don't pay no mind
    What other people think

    [Chorus]
