Talk about a creeper. This might stick around a while.

new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--217242598Here's the video. I loved it. So does Tunelab. Absolute Punk hates it because it's Seether, rawr, ew, I might get some post-grunge on me. Enjoy it or not, I don't care.

I haven't listened to this, but is this the same thing as the cover Alex Gaskarth (of All Time Low), Juliet Simms (of Automatic Loveletter) and 3OH!3 did of a song called this?

Yes. And no. It's a cover. Not the same cover. A Seether cover.

^ Yes.
The original still blows all other versions away. Seether's is way more listenable than the one you mentioned...the singing in that is horrible.

Weird video. Amazing chart peaks so far. Higher than Remedy and Fine Again? Biggest CHR hit ever for just the band? Especially since it was never a "single" by the uninformed. Surprise cover of the year.

Didn't "Broken" do pretty good on CHR?

Biggest CHR hit ever for just the band? If it can keep up the gains for a few more weeks, maybe. "Rise Above This" hit #40, while "Careless Whisper" has made it as high as #43 so far. Going by peak spins, the former is still the winner. That's Mediabase, by the way. I don't know (or really care) what it did on Billboard, so you'll have to provide those stats yourself. Didn't "Broken" do pretty good on CHR? It did, but I'm assuming the "just the band" part of his post was intended to exclude that.

That video was jaw-droppingly entertaining. "Wham" being the action-impact word in the "Wall Street Fighter" game, Tributes to Star Wars (well V and VI perhaps?), the Karate Kid, Knight Rider (or is that supposed to be Back to the Future?), Ghostbusters, Miami Vice, E.T. Teen Wolf, The A-Team, George Michael, Scarface, Small Wonder(!), the California Raisins. I'm not sure who the flying blond boy is or the blue rabbit. In other news, the 5th video visible on the loading dock was "Hate," by the Joykiller, a punk band most well-known as having two members from TSOL and this song, I guess. I remember its video being played a few times in '96 & '97 on 120 Minutes and the song was featured on Punk-O-Rama 2. Anyway, seeing the video for the first time in, perhaps, a decade, I could totally see My Chemical Romance covering this, most notably because Gerard ended up looking so much like Jack Grisham does in this video. Check it out.
