“Some Say” by Sum 41

"Some Say" became the third single off Chuck, Sum 41's 2004 album on Island, arriving in February 2005 between "Pieces" and "No Reason". Deryck Whibley wrote it with producer Greig Nori, Matt Hyde engineered, and Tom Lord-Alge handled the mix. Playing it live for the Go Chuck Yourself album, Whibley joked that it was about your thoroughly confused parents.

The video is the real curiosity: apart from the closing shot of the band driving off, it unfolds in one unbroken take on a bare set with no walls and lines on the floor marking out the rooms, not unlike the set of Lars von Trier's film Dogville. Whibley stays in the car singing, the band drifts in and out, and everyday mishaps like dropped groceries play out in reverse, until soldiers start herding people away from grilling steaks and lounging on the couch.
