SOUNDCHECK: AVRIL LAVIGNE'S 'SK8ER BOI'

08.24.02

Avril and her boyfriends are having a street party-spread the word! Little Miss Complicated is back with her second single/video from the album 'Let Go'. Taking a page from Linkin Park's 'reanimation rules of spelling', Sk8er Boi is a fast-paced and in-your-face song written by a girlfriend to her boyfriend's ex (psst..Avril's the girlfriend, not the ex).

Looks like the (*cough) 'punk rock kids' are causing sh*t on the corner of 7th&Spring, in the heart of L.A.'s Fashion District (I think we all know that her real impression on the fashion industry is the whole girl-wearing-a-tie thing). Apparently in Avril's world all you need for an impromptu street concert are a bunch of cars and a ton of friends (is it weird that my fave part was how they showed them hooking up power to all of the equipment? I mean how many videos do you see where bands are playing in the middle of the street, powered by some miraculous energy source?) When watching, I was reminded of Limp Bizkit's 'Nookie' video, and by the end Avril's breakin' stuff and rollin' with it.
