The singer delighted his Twitter followers by sharing the lyrics that an advertising company wanted him to sing over his 1997 song, Truly Madly Deeply.Here’s what they pitched:VERSE 1 I’ll bring you Greek, I’ll bring you French, I’ll bring you Japanese. I’ll bring you Thai, Steak from the Pub, bring all the food that you need. Close to your door with every step, I’m outside holding your food. It will be warm, I will be tasty ‘cause I’m counting on a real good rating. That’s the reason I’m bringing, you Deep Fried Chicken CHORUS 1 I want to stand with you on food mountain I want to float with you in some cheese. [insert brand name] Like this forever Until more fries rain down on me. Hayes joked with his followers: “If you knew how much money I turn down and how hard I fight to protect your high school memories.”Twitter users described the advertising company’s lyrics as “truly madly cringy”, “awful” and “a travesty” and thanked the singer for not selling out.“These lyrics make me want to throw myself off food mountain,” tweeted @daggerandpen.“‘I want to float with you in some cheese’ is my new pick-up line,” wrote @clairenelson.And @timbyrneses tweeted: “Could you still record it? The people need to hear this cringe.”Truly Madly Deeply was a huge hit for Hayes and his Savage Garden bandmate Daniel Jones when it was released.It went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the US and became the first song in the chart’s history to spend its first 52 weeks inside the top 30.In Australia it won the ARIA award for Single of the Year and was nominated for Song of the Year but lost out to another Savage Garden song, To the Moon and Back.Savage Garden won 10 ARIAs that year from 13 nominations.Hayes currently lives in the US with his husband, Richard Cullen.
