The Used pulled "Pretty Handsome Awkward" off Lies for the Liars, their third album, as its second single in 2007, with John Feldmann producing and recording it and Chris Lord-Alge mixing for Reprise. Its best-known moment may have come at the multiplex: Michael Bay dropped it into a chase scene in Transformers, it went onto the film's soundtrack, and it turned up as a downloadable track for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.
It climbed to 37 on the US Alternative Airplay chart. Rumor had it the song took aim at My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way, a story Bert McCracken has denied. And it has found an unlikely second career in hockey, as the official goal song of the NHL's Utah Mammoth.
