"Of Mice and Men" is Dave Mustaine's song top to bottom, the second single from The System Has Failed, the Megadeth album Sanctuary put out in September 2004. He wrote it, sings it, plays guitar and produced it with Jeff Balding, with Chris Poland on the other guitar, Jimmie Lee Sloas on bass and Vinnie Colaiuta on drums, plus Tim Akers on keyboards, Eric Darken on percussion and Chris Rodriguez on backing vocals.
The video, directed by Michael J. Sarna, arrived in July 2005 with a different band in it: Mustaine sings in profile and from a bed, then fronts the group in a dark room full of headbangers. It's the only Megadeth video with James MacDonough on bass, and it marked the debuts of guitarist Glen Drover and drummer Shawn Drover.
