Nickelback...

My best friend (who's a huge Rush fan and got me into them a few years ago) claims that they're the band that every guy's girlfriend loves to hate.

I didn't believe him until I went to a Rush concert at SPAC a few years ago. I think the male to female ratio at the show was about 9:1. There was no line for the ladies room all night...it was awesome. :+
 
LOL - last time I went to see Tool, there was a HUGE line-up for the men's room and none for the ladies. It was a refreshing change.
 
>Boy, they just keep writing that same song over and over
>again, don't they?

>:p

LOL! My DH and I were just talking about this. Every song sounds EXACTLY the same! I always turn the channel too. The new one "If Everyone Cared" cracks my DH and I up whenever we hear it though. It came on one day and Dakota, our weiner dog, really perked up and started howling. So we changed the lyrics to say "Then we'd see the day when no weiner died". After doing that, the song got totally stuck in our heads, so as a joke for DH, I redid the lyrics to be about our weiner dogs (Cheyenne, Montana, & Dakota) and e-mailed it to him at work. Maybe you will like this version better than Nickelback's. ;) Yeah, I know, I'm totally lame! :+

If Everyone Cared {Weiner dog remix}

From underneath the sheets, I lick my butt
Roll on my back, I’m a happy mutt
I never dreamed I could smell this bad
But here I am, right next to Dad

Singing Amen, I, I'm a dog
Singing Amen, I, I'm a dog

Chorus:
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when no weiner died

And I'm singing

Amen I, Amen I, I'm a dog
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm a dog

And in the morning I hear the sound
Of Cheyenne chowing down
I smell a wiff of putrid death
And realize it’s my own breath

Singing Amen, I, I'm a dog
Singing Amen, I, I'm a dog
(I'm alive)

Chorus x2

And as we lie beside the fire
We realize how short we are
If we could just see our knees
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when no weiner died
When no weiner died...

Chorus

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When no weiner died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When no weiner died
We'd see the day when no weiner died
 
Yup!

Beavs - Know of any good Indian or Asian restaurants around there? I'm assuming that's near your neck of the woods.
 
Gayle,
I am not sure about Clifton Park. There is the Curry House on Madison Ave in Albany which is FABULOUS but probably a bit out the way for you.
According to a Google search the Shalimar is decent. Here's the poop:

Shalimar Restaurant

15 Park Ave., Shoppers Plaza, Clifton Park 348-1494; Inexpensive, spicy Indian fare to eat in or take out. Serving a variety of vegetarian, meat and chicken dishes, fresh-baked tandoori bread and other stuffed breads. No alcohol; catering available. Lunch buffet daily noon-3.

Hopefully your show is not on a Monday. That would Tragic :eek:
 
Thanks, Beavs!

:7 :7 :7 Fortunately, it's on a Wednesday.
 
Poo on you Nickelback haters!}(

I LOVE them! Some of my favorite NB songs are not played on the radio though. I was just on the net looking for tickets to a show in Michigan or nearby....no luck. So if you guys want to boot them out of Canada, I know a place in northern Michigan that would certainly enjoy their company ;-) :eek:

Nickelback fans UNITE!:p

Hey Ang, you are not alone. I have to admit that I like them as well. I had one of thier songs on my old MP3 player. I'll have to put some on my IPOD now!:)
 
I personally love their music but I do mostly listen to Country. I am sure you will think that must explain it.
