Cover art for Charlie lyrics by Ingrid Michaelson

I guess it's about a nerdish bookworm type who gets bullied in school, but the pretty redhead still sticks by him. Sounds like Spiderman's Peter Parker and Mary Jane come to think of it.. haah

This song is brilliant and it's definately about Charlie Brown. I don't know if everyone is old enough to remember much of the Peanut comics or animated features. Charlie brown had an absolute crush on classmate identified only as "the little redhead girl." He would always sit with Linus at lunch and quietly build up his courage to talk to her. Just when he got really determined she would look his way and he would freak out by putting his paper lunch bag over his head. Classic Charlie Brown. There are plenty of strips...
