Is that their claim to fame over here? Yes Pipa makes up for most of Hollerado's fame in the world LOL! Yes, it's true. Watch me post in the International forum and have their overseas career EXPLODE!

^ There's potential for this to flop

After taking 3 weeks to hit the top 30? I don't think this will flop.

Yeah I don't think it will either, Dev. Plus you gotta remember that "Porn Star Dancing" had a negative bullet at one point in the 20s, and it wasn't because of some specialty holiday playlist weekend either. This song is bound for the top 10 for sure and definitely has a legitimate shot to make it back-to-back #1's for these canucks. I have a hunch that they'll ultimately fall just a tad short of the top, but this ain't flopping.

I just don't want this to be big. I don't understand you guys or myself really. I liked "Porn Star Dancing" but hate this. Most of you guys sound the opposite

I don't like either, but I far prefer this. It's probably the difference between an F and a B- for me. The vocal harmonies in this song make me like it a lot more than I otherwise would. And even though the lyrics are cock rocky...the music sounds less like a cock rock song than "Porn Star Dancing" and most other cocky songs out there. Basically, the lyrics are the only thing I dislike about the song with everything else being at least decent for me. "Porn Star Dancing" also came out when my ex had just broken up with me and had a quarter-life crisis and became a stripper, so the song didn't sit as well with me for that reason, I'm sure.

Lol. I love it when the shoe is on the other foot. Unlike 99.999% of the time. Then again, it would be better if it were something worth watching. Last time something cool happened was when we had Our Lady Peace's All You Did Was Save My Life video early.

Ah, I might have been thinking about the actual single, not the video.

The sad athing about this release, is the fact that they have various better songs worth releasing.

I don't know which song it was but I remember one of my rock stations (it's from Southern Ontario) was playing a song that wasn't a single to talk about the band after for some reason. It was a pretty good song and did not know it was an album cut from MDD. I was like, what? Edit - it was Every Lie.

Yeah, the annoying thing here is that the rest of the CD is as radio friendly as this but just of better quality and it's not like we want some really off beat or dark song to be released, that wouldn't work well on the radio.

Sorry, but, this is as accessible as anything on the record. This stands out due to its groove, the rest of the album tracks come across as boring post-grunge, to me. They're targeting the crowd that loved "Porn Star Dancing" with this selection. Seriously, this was probably the most blatantly obvious follow-up single I've ever seen.

I disagree, this is a filler track at best. "Every Lie", "Goodbye" and "Set On Fire" are lightyears ahead.

I agree with Mat here. The moment that the atrocious "Porn Star Dancing" became the way they and their label wanted to present this band to the general public, they defined themselves as that kind of a band. Rather than try to undo the damage by attracting the people they've already turned off for like (eg me), they're owning their decision to be a cock rock active rock radio band, and following suit accordingly. At this point, I wouldn't sincerely believe anything legit that they put out anyway because they've already defined themselves to me with the worst song of 2010.

"Set On Fire" is in the same vein as PSD, but it's much less crude and has a more interesting groove to it.

That's cool. I look forward to not caring about them. "Move Your Body" has some cool vocal harmonies and clean guitar leads. I definitely think it's better than "Porn Star Dancing". I don't get why people are dissing them for this current single choice when it was the first single that was GOD AWFUL.

Haha yeah, that's what I don't understand, either. "Set It on Fire" was too poppy, I thought. They may go with it third, but "Move Your Body" certainly fits the "Porn Star Dancing" part II bill better than SIOF does.

I can understand not liking PSD, but most people liked it because it had a really catchy chorus and had a host of cameos from other artists. Its cheesy fun, where as "Move Your Body" is just boring and like a hundred other songs.

Nothing else is as infectious as this, IMO.

I've only heard three songs, and will not seek out more:
"Come Undone" cover (well done, but they didn't write the song, the song itself is an A though). "Move Your Body" C+ "Porn Star Dancing" F
I do enjoy listening to the "Come Undone" cover because it's a good song and I like hearing it with a bit of a harder edge to it, but I prefer Red's version of "Ordinary World" and wish that they had touched this one as well.

After hearing "Porn Star Dancing," I refused to listen to "Move Your Body" because it was just that bad. However, now that I'm living in the Orlando area and they only have an Active Rock station with WJRR, I heard "Move Your Body" not knowing what it was and what do you know, I actually liked it. Then when the DJ came on afterward telling what it was, I was shocked.

Yeah, that's cuz "Move Your Body" is a way better song than "Porn Star Dancing". I knew you'd agree with me.
