Fat Lip - Sum 41

 [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QItfqXus0QM]


I picked this song because I like it, and it's far and away the band's most successful single. I picked this video for a different reason. I can't figure out for the life of me why their drummer has his vocal mic set so low. He has to lean over to get within singing range. Being a drummer that sings, I can imagine how distracting that would be. There are so many options of stands that would swing the mic right in front of your face without any part of it getting in the way. To each his own, I guess.


The Canadian group released the song on All Killer No Filler in 2001. It definitely has the sound of punk-rock at the time, reminding me a lot of Green Day. The song topped the Modern Rock Tracks chart and broke the Hot 100 at #66.
