Grade: F
In the span of five minutes, a person can accomplish an astonishing amount of tasks. Hand washing, teeth brushing, or even cleaning the gutters. Alternatively, a person could sit through the miserable musical spawn of Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger’s union. When Avril and Chad officially became a thing, everyone knew they would eventually record a song together. What everyone didn’t know, however, is that they would produce an absolute abomination of a song. I’m kidding. Yes they did. The song is appropriately reminiscent of the Avril and Nickelback songs you probably remember from middle school, and they even made sure to frost Chad’s tips to keep everything within the same aesthetic. Complete with an in-your-face product placement for a SONY Xperia tablet, the music video is essentially the epitome of outdated, cringeworthy crap. Unless you’re interested in watching Avril Lavigne whine behind a piano while Nickelback without Ramen noodle hair awkwardly strokes her shoulders for five straight minutes, don’t watch this music video.
