“Download this Song” by MC Lars appears on 2 radio countdowns from 2 stations in 2006. It was first released in 2006 on the album The Graduate. Its best result is #25 on the WBER Listener Countdown 2006. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #173 alternative song of 2006.
"Download This Song" was the second single off The Graduate, the debut studio album MC Lars put out on Nettwerk in 2006, and it's nerdcore with a chip on its shoulder: a wisecracking shot at a record business that was dragging kids into court over downloads.
Lars built it on a sample of Iggy Pop's "The Passenger" and brought in Jaret Reddick of Bowling for Soup as a guest. Early that year CBC Radio's pop-culture show Definitely Not the Opera played it during a feature on geeks, which seems about right, and it went on to reach number 29 on Australia's ARIA chart.
