Okay, so you've probably seen links to the Nickelback stereo mix song page. I was playing the mix for Genc when one of our regular Wolfenstein players overhears, and goes, "Hey, Nickelback! I LOVE that song!"

To which I replied, "Which one?"

Insert awkward pause filled with Nickelback stereo goodness.

EDIT: After listening to laechim talk, I tried making the mix myself. It doesn't sync the way the aforementioned Nickelback Stereo Mindfuck does. The two songs are edited from the original versions--both had about eight measures removed from different spots, and Someday changed key and was sped up to match the mix. I still stick to my belief that, at the very least, it's hilarious as hell.

Plus, another argument as to how similar the two songs sound echoes in my mind from an earlier conversation, when I ran into the girl from the bookstore on the train. Planning on showing this to her, I asked her if she knew and/or liked Nickelback. She said something along the lines of, "Yeah, the one that goes 'how the hell did we end up like this?'" I asked her if she heard their other single, the one that went, "This is how you remind me," and she exclaimed, "yeah, THAT'S the one I like!"

Even if the eating of this pudding is doctored proof, I stand by my original conclusion.

On top of that, it isn't like Nickelback was terribly original in the first place. Granted, not every musician can be terribly original, but I think the fact that they can't seem to deviate from their own work makes a serious statement about their creative potential (or lack thereof).
