"Odd One" was the second single from Tri-Polar, the third album from Sick Puppies, and it hit rock radio in November 2009 after a close fight with "Riptide" for the slot. Singer Shimon Moore later said the band was delighted it won out, because they believed in what the lyric had to say, and the track backs that conviction with a chunky, chest-out chorus.
The video, shot at a skate park and premiered on the mtvU website in January 2010, cuts between the band playing and a strange little love story: its heroine has powers that can kill people and bring them back from the dead, which means she can't touch anyone, so she goes through life in yellow rubber gloves.
