Talk:Something Borrowed (How I Met Your Mother)

placebo: every you, every me
If you look at the lyrics of Every You Every Me by Placebo, you'll find, that the last verse goes something like this:


 * All alone in space and time.
 * There's nothing here but what here's mine.
 * Something borrowed, something blue.
 * Every me and every you.

Is it possible, that the third line was where they got the name for the last two episodes from? Or is it something else, where even Placebo got it from? I think this could be worth mentioning. --JPGoelz (talk) 18:57, 26 November 2008 (UTC)


 * "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" is a well-known tradition about what the bride is supposed to wear on her wedding day. It's more likely a reference to that than to any book or song (which are themselves likely references to that tradition). 99.225.191.152 (talk) 16:34, 23 September 2010 (UTC)


 * The phrase comes from a Victorian rhyme and was printed in a newspaper in 1894. See http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/327600.html 99.225.191.152 (talk) 16:41, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
