Cause when he was writing the song he felt like a stalker...you know the whole "Right Behind You" bit. yeah. and "Mafia" is better then "creepy guy fallowing you around"....and shorter too.
Arn't I convincing?

The song is called Right Behind You (Mafia)
That really doesn't explain the Mafia part in the title.

anybody want to write to OLP and ask them what on earth the Mafia have to do with that song? O and also it sits well next to story about a girl if you are making a playlist

Raine has explained openly, in interviews, what mafia meant as a part of that title, but its too late for me to ponder up that information for you..........

Oh crap. Now I have to wander the vast wasteland that is my brain's memory. Raine explained it at the Central Park show last year. *thinks*...

... *thinks harder*...

... *thinks REALLY hard*...

... dag nabbit, I dun seem to thunk too hard.

What am I ON?!?!
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I stuck it in my review of the concert. *checks* Aha! So I did!
Before "Mafia", Raine was talking about how it was "always called Mafia, it was never anything else... just kidding", then said something about how they "felt the song title should have some words that are actually in the song".

There ya go, that simple. Pretty funny. Though... it still doesn't really explain the whole "Mafia" thing.

Oh well, I tried.

Wasn't RBY originally called Spirit Mafia or something like that? And then they changed it to RBY but left the Mafia part in. I think.
