She F***ing Hates Me.

I'm back reminiscing about the magical era of the early naughties. Today we are looking at Puddle of Mudd's hit "She Hates Me" to try and understand how and why it became such a massive hit? Do you know? If so, please enlighten me. Let's go!

I love the thought of Justin's granny being in the other room, thinking to herself 'Ooh Justin love, please hurry up with your KZbin nonsense, I'm trying to watch 'The Chase' on the telly'

[@Goddzi]

One of my cover bands has been doing this song for years. Always goes down well and gets everyone singing. Once, many years ago, we played it at an engagement party (already lol) but, we had been told, the bride to be’s son, who was about 7 or 8 yo at the time loved the song but thought the words were “She needs an x-ray”, so that’s what we sang! 😂

@Thomas Scoville I've never met anyone who is able to hear a song, parse out the notes and then play them immediately upon a first listen. Maybe you hang out with people who are more musically talented than I do. The "oh please" at the start of your comment is quite rude, in my opinion. Good day.

@@MsCruisein you’ve never met any musicians then. It’s just like speaking if you know music. You hear the note you know the note you know where to play the note. You should see a pianist do it. Plus once you know the route note and you already know how music works you can easily improvising filling other notes that work with it.

[@D_Tuned]

The beginning chord progression reminds me of the song "Stand" by R.E.M.

[@garanceadrosehn9691]

This is the kind of song which can sound great to an angsty teenager, but seems a bit overblown once you're older and have survived a few broken relationships. But IIRC before this song was released, this group had a major hit with the song _"Blurry",_ and I think that the good will from that song helped the popularity of this song. _"Blurry"_ also had a pretty good video, iirc.

[@hre2stay]

Control was a far better song in my opinion

[@chrishenricks6405]

There are folks out in the world that like stuff they know nothing about, on a technical level. Especially when it comes to music and art. They just go with what moves them and have no idea why it moves them. And that's okay. So much of today's music doesn't even have key changes. A trained ear and musicians that go beyond the moon, spoon, June lyrics and write deeper, music poetry, know how to recognize subpar material while the rest of us raise our hands in the air and obliviously rock on. If I had a shitty song on KZbin, I would want Justin to tell me it's shit because he does it in the nicest way possible. You rock Justin!

Justin, to continue your Puddle Of Mudd series (for that is what this is), you could look at their previous track "Blurry", which probably contributed to the success of "She effing Hates Me" 😀

[@brentdeweese7828]

I like when you blend your theme song with the melody of the song you’ve just covered. For whatever reason I find that to be a pleasing way to cap the video.

[@PuddleOfPizza]

I know that a lot of people tend to despise this song, And I can definitely understand why given how immature, Mundane it is. And looking back it's probably the biggest contributing factor behind Puddle Of Mudd's decline in mainstream popularity. Cause they already had three big singles before this one dropped, One of those being the 4th biggest rock hit of the entire decade. But it seemed like after this song blew up and became almost as big as that one that the bands' image got tainted over night and wasn't able to recover in the same way that bands like Linkin Park were. Granted, I don't think any of the singles off of the later releases were hooky enough to be a Billboard Top 10 regardless of their reputation, But their career definitely would have faired better had She Hates Me never existed. A band that has mainstream rock superstardom may not have the charting power of the crossover acts, But their careers last longer. (See Godsmack and Three Days Grace as examples) Whereas bands that get big from a crossover single tend to be forgotten once their reign is over. There's a reason why we don't hear anything about Hinder these days. Cause they were nothing without that crossover success. Wes and Co. had so much to offer with those first three albums, But it all got overshadowed by the juvenile qualities of She Hates Me. Everybody remembers how great Blurry was, But most have forgotten the singles that were just as good (Control and Drift & Die), Cause they all got overshadowed by the novelty song. Which is unfortunate.

One, because I'm following you, Justin, and I think you are hilarious, clever and extremely knowledgeable and you are WELL SEASONED in the world of music. Two, I haven't heard a stinky song yet from The Darkness. I suppose there could be a couple in the lot, but I haven't heard any thus far and your videos are great! A TERRIFIC SENSE OF HUMOR GETS ONE FAR AND YOU FIT THAT BILL. You have have great funny reviews of other artists and your videos are chock full of creative sense of humor! Three, you are friends with Steel Panther and I LOVE STEEL PANTHER! They have THE MOST WONDERFUL SENSE OF HUMOR, THEY WORK THEIR BOOTIES OFF, THEY ARE WELL SEASONED, THEY HAPPEN TO BE EXTREMELY INTELLEGENT AND THEY ARE JUST THE CUTEST!!!!! Four, NUMBER THREE all over again WHICH APPLIES TO YOU AND YOUR BAND, THE DARKNESS! So, next music investments are The Darkness CDs and DVDs, if there are any. The visuals are just as important as the sound for me. Possibly a tee also. Love the typeface of your logo. Very retro and VERY CURVY 😘. And then, the SWOLE CD or DVD and GUNTHER CDs and DVDs, love that guy. Plus, I'm half Swedish and he's funny and cute and Swedish. Oh, and he has a Brussels Griffon in his Christmas video. I currently have three (have had four prior all rough coated) and have always loved the breed, those "back talking Griffons!" My boys! My Three Sons! The Three Stooges! Gidorah! Thank you for the review(s). And your guitar sounds really nice! A little different. Not the same as the flowery one, but a little different. At least to me it does. Could be my phone (shoulder shrug). Sounds nice none the less. OH, BY THE WAY, THIS PAST WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2023, BURT BACHARACH PASSED AWAY. HE WAS 94. I'M SURE YOU KNOW THAT THOUGH. Rip Burt.
