THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
415-Nickleback-Rockstar.
2006-Number 2 single.
Best Bit-At 1.01.The song maybe about spending billions of dollars but Nickleback took their name from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his job at Starbucks,he would frequently say,’Here’s your nickel back.’
Nickleback are a Canadian rock band formed in 1995 by brothers Chad and Mike Kroeger,Ryan Peake and joined by drummer Daniel Adair in 2005.
The song pokes fun at the stereotypical lifestyle of a famous musician,complete with references to extravagant homes,groupies,drugs and famous friends.Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top provides some of the songs vocals and he also appears in it’s brilliant video,which of course you can watch here.
‘I want a brand new house on an episode of cribs and a bathroom I can play baseball in and a king size tub big enough for ten plus me.’
