Single from Death Death Die from their album Ninja Flying Eagles. Their site is pretty lame, unprofessional, and immature: deathdeathdie.com/ Not even sure if they're on a label. Nonetheless it's on the Taking Off chart on my Alt Adds newsletter.

WTF? This is awful. Why the hell would any radio station play this?

I looked at the website first and had hoped that the song would be better. It was not.

(the skateboarder/ MMA/ tony hawk & bam margera buddy) All douchebag stuff, unless you are in grads 6-8 That's irrelevant from the music, though.................which tries to sound "hardcore" and "in your face"..................but in reality is relentlessly cliched, relying on the same old, tired "shock value" from the "Hey, F-in look at me, I'm f***in' dropping f***in' four-letter word bombs on almost every f***in' song line!" mentality, to having song titles that mention things as unspeakably crass like "AIDS Rain". I'm not offended, nor even shocked, listening to any of these songs. Why should I be? This shock value approach has been undertaken before, in numerous forms. If anything, I just yawned hearing this. You can pretty much predict overall where this song is headed just by the title alone. That's not original whatsoever. That's actually just lazy. A lazy way to elicit a response, from their ho-hum band name to the marketing in the single's title banking on replicating Cee Lo Green and Enrique Iglesias' recent successes..........and, hopefully, radio won't fall for it. Namaste, lisping HIBISCUS

You weren't kidding. That's like one of the examples they showed us in college of what really bad web design is. I don't want to waste my time listening to the song. I could imagine what it sounds like by all of your comments. It's funny because every time I open the thread, I keep thinking it's for a Death Cab for Cutie song, but then judging by the comments made, I keep saying to myself "Oh.....yeah..... completely different band."

I thought the same thing! On the newsletter it only said "U Can Go" and I thought 'cool, I can make Death Cab For Cutie's thread for the follow-up to "You Are a Tourist".' But that wasn't the case.
