  • Philicia from Lincoln, Nei think this is a really great song. my favorite part of it is the girl singing in the backround, i think it adds a lot
  • Randell from Mounds, OkDuring Edgefest 2003 in Tulsa, Ok Scooter (the frontman) got nailed in the face with a shoe. Scooter yelled "I know who the F*#@ did this and after the show im gonna kick your F*#@$ing a$$" After the gig the band jumped the guy who threw the shoe. It was pretty funny!!
