  • Shawn from Decatur, IlA rip off of lyrics idea by Jackson Jermaine - Do What You Do. Chad listened to as a teen growing up.
  • Eugene from Minneapolis, MnI really cannot stand Mudvayne which my first rule of thumb. I saw that it was the most played song on rock radio for the week of 2-13-08. Thus, I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I have to say this is a pretty darn awesome song with a hand full of energy!
