* This dynamic is perfectly captured with the lyric [https://web.archive.org/web/20080513084446/http://www.bobdylan.com/songs/memphis.html "your debutante just knows what you need, but I know what you want"]
** In an odd contrast to this lyric, ''Veronica'' was actually a big-city debutante in her initial introduction in the 1940s, in order to contrast with small-town Betty.
* Dolly Parton's famous song ''Jolene'' paints the picture of this variety of love triangle. Jolene (with her "beauty beyond compare") is the Veronica, and the singer (who "cannot compete with you, Jolene") is the Betty. The song consists of "Betty" begging Jolene not to steal her man.
