Seether - "Fake It"

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

We have no topic for this because it probably sucks, but this is Top 5 Alternative and selling on iTunes.

Hope I don't ever have to hear it.

The rock forum on here was never that big on bands like these so I think it has little to do with the song sucking.

But I heard it. Very cock rock, trashy.

Heard this for the first time last night. Horrible. I can't believe it's going to go #1 at Alternative.

I will say that the random and pointless "You're such a f**king hypocrite" at the end of the chorus made me burst out laughing so I guess the song is good for something; granted, I doubt unintentional comedy is what Seether was going for.

I do really like Seether, but this single is not that good compared to previous singles.

THE REAL THING: "Fake It" (Wind-up) by Seether is the new No. 1 song on Modern Rock Tracks, giving the South African band its first chart-topper.

"Fake It" is the eighth chart entry for Seether; its previous best was "Broken," No. 4 in 2004. "Broken" remains the group's biggest hit on the Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 20.

It's worth noting that "Fake It" is the song that finally ended the Foo Fighters' tenacious hold on first place with "The Pretender," the song that ruled for 18 weeks, the longest-running No. 1 in this chart's history.
