Last month Coral Anne created a Facebook fan page called ‘Can This Pickle get More Fans Than Nickelback‘. Guess what– it did! It only took about 3 weeks! This is good news for cucumbers everywhere. The page has more than 1,530,445 fans.
A lot of news sites are reporting that Nickleback frontman Chad Kroeger found out about it, and instead of laughing off the ridiculousness, he sent a message to the fan page’s creator. But this seems to be fake. I mean, make no mistake, we’re not saying that that poodle of a lead singer is not a d-bag, but c’mon Daily News.
According to the page creator…
“I have had no correspondence with Chad Kroeger or anyone affiliated with Nickelback. Anyone who says so is just spreading rumours and/or are mistaken by pictures that were posted on the site of someone with what was likely a fake account. Nickelback have not done anything wrong in lieu of the making of this page and if anyone out there says that they have, it is not true.
I am fully aware that I misspelled Nickelback as “Nickleback” in the name of the page. This is because Facebook doesn’t allow you to put the word Nickelback in the name of a page because I guess if someone did it would be copyright infringement.“
Also, the most famous pickle of this decade has now been forever immortalized on a t-shirt.
Speaking of fan pages, Songspeak now has a fan page on Facebook. Why not become a fan?

One of the catchier songs I’ve been hearing on Lazer 99.3 lately is Hate My Life by Theory of a Deadman. You may not know the band, but they’re one of those stereotypical rock radio bands. You might confuse them with Nickelback, or Shinedown, or Three Days Grace, or Breaking Benjamin, or…well, you get the idea.
I like this song, even though there’s something annoying about someone from a relatively successful rock band complaining about how much their life sucks. Let’s look at the video, shall we?
I’ll tell ya, when I first watched the video, the singer looked nothing like I pictured him. And you can tell he must not be used to making videos. He sure comes across lifeless and devoid of emotion for a song filled with such bitter rage.
The novelty of this song will likely fade, and as far as songs about hatred go, I still think Ugly Kid Joe did it best.

Over 2 1/2 years ago, at my 30th birthday dinner at the Olive Garden, Matt, Heather, and I lamented about how ridiculous and overplayed the song Photograph by Nickelback was. We made fun of the lyrics, and how we’d hear it at least 3 times a day on the radio. So why post about it now? Because, over 2 1/2 years later, I still hear it at least once a day on mix 93.1. I guess Chad Kroeger never figured out how their eyes got so red, or what the hell was on Joey’s head.
I won’t torture you by posting the video as I usually do. So instead, look at this photograph. Every time I do it makes me laugh. (And what the hell is on that bunny’s head?):
