Idolator

Hey Mickey! Hey Mickey!

I hear a little Joan Jett in there too. God help me... I kind of like it.

Every time I see a picture of Avril Lavigne I want to punch myself in the face. Surely I'm not the only one she has that affect on?

NO Chris, she has that effect on most resonable, sensible and logical people.

Do you ever get the feeling that Canada is embarassed to say "our fellow Canadian, Avril"?

heathermylove,
Yes, we are. We had just gotten over Celine Dion, and now this.

I'm so happy the Go-Gos have decided to reunite. It's long overdue. It's a shame, though, they made their song two minutes too long.

I hear some Pipettes influence in there too. I'd like to congratulate Avril, the song only moderately sucks and I like shouty catchy choruses.

I hate to point out the obvs guys, but I'll take Avril over, say, GWB, any day.

Canadians are pretty much embarrassed over any major Canadian superstars, mainly because we know the rest of the world does a simple calculation (Avril + Alanis + Celine + Shania + politeness + universal health care + winter - anything exciting = Canada) and somehow, that sums us up.

Point #1: Avril is a hot little number.

Point #2: This song sucks compared to her early stuff. It's overproduced all to hell. Either her record company has way too much control or she's lost her point of view. Kate's right—it's like Hey, Mickey back from the dead to haunt us.
