Videos: All American Rejects take on "Highschool Musical"

Posted by aubin on Sunday, October 26, 2008 at 12:30 PM (EDT)

An All-American Rejects fan has put together a controversial and potentially funny little video for the band's new single, "Give You Hell," which features a Robot Chicken-style parody of the Highschool Musical crew. The video is somewhat NSFW.

I'm not sure it's either, actually.

So before starting the video, it has a screenshot of someone saying "Oh God! My testicles have dropped off!"

Ironically, that's exactly how I feel about this band.

I spent two weeks in Georgia with no internet, and nothing but "No Jacket Required" by Phil Collins to listen to.

It's a solid album, but it took a good year before I could listen to it again.

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political auth

in a way this band actually has gotten worse, but this song is a lot less annoying than Move Along so i don't know.. all i know is this band kinda sucks, swing swing is an okay song, i haven't heard anything else from that album... but dirty little secret and move along piss me off and this song sounds like backstreet boys =)

i don't really know what High School Musical is besides it being a movie. my cousin tried to explain it to me, but as soon as she started "oh my god its the best movie ever" i stopped listening.

i can only assume this video was more entertaining than the actual movie.

the maker loses all points for being an AAR fan though.
