The music video featured the band on a heist and their pursuit by the police is shown in the follow up single. The song reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it their most successful single to date. The album of the same name was released in 2003 making it the second album from the band. Throughout the song the speakers claims he “is not a perfect person” and that “there’s many things I wish I didn’t do”. For 10 points, name this most successful single from Hoobastank.

The Reason

>>>> A decent question. I know Tressler has the cd so he may have gotten it at the end, but I guess it was too old of them.

This band, originally known as Eleventeen, took its name from a character in an X-Files episode. They disbanded in 2004 following poor record sales and their lead vocalist being charge with indecent exposure. Singles off their namesake album include “Leech” and “Tongue Tied” but it wasn’t until Horrorscope that they gained significant airplay. Singles like “Promise” and “On the Roof Again” garnered them some attention but it wasn’t until “Heres to the Night” that the band gained mainstream success. For 10 points, name this biblically named band.

B-Sides of this album include Acquiesce, Underneath the Sky, and Talk Tonight. Five of the tracks from this album were included on Stop the Clocks. Cast No Shadow was about friend of the band Richard Ashcroft while Some Might Say was widely popular in the UK.
