"You're Going Down" is the lead single from Sick Puppies' third album Tri-Polar .

Contents

"You're Going Down" was used by WWE to represent their Extreme Rules pay-per-view event as its official theme song. [1] The wrestling promotion also used the song by making it part of the soundtrack to their video game SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 . It was also used in a pre-game video package for the Montreal Alouettes at the 96th Grey Cup and the opening theme for the 2010 live-action film adaptation of Tekken .

The official release date was 2 June 2009 but the band had already begun streaming the song through their Myspace page. [2]

When Moore was asked how he wrote the song his answer was, "I asked myself, when you're getting pumped up to get into the ring, what would you want to hear? And that's what came out." [3]

Music video

The full video for "You're Going Down" premiered on 11 August 2009 on both MTV2 and mtvU, as well as the mtvU website. The next day, it became available for viewing on Sick Puppies Myspace page, [2] as well as their YouTube channel. [4]

To contrast the heavy, aggressive sound of the song, the video features small children throwing water balloons at each other and shooting each other with water guns. The main humor comes from the fact that it is shot in a very serious way, similar to Saving Private Ryan , so that it appears to be a real war. The kids talk on walkie talkies and appear to die as if fighting with real weapons. The video cuts back and forth between this story and scenes of the band performing the song.

The discography of Weezer, an American rock band, consists of 15 studio albums, two compilation albums, one video album, nine extended plays, 37 singles and 40 music videos. Weezer's self-titled debut studio album, often referred to as The Blue Album, was released in May 1994 through DGC Records. The album was a commercial success, peaking at number 16 on the US Billboard 200 and spawning the singles "Undone – The Sweater Song" and "Buddy Holly", both of which were responsible for launching Weezer into mainstream success with the aid of music videos directed by Spike Jonze. It has sold 3.3 million copies in the United States and has been certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), becoming the band's best selling album to date. Following the success of their debut album, Weezer took a break from touring for the Christmas holidays. Lead singer Rivers Cuomo began piecing together demo material for Weezer's second studio album. Cuomo's original concept for the album was a space-themed rock opera, Songs from the Black Hole. Ultimately, the Songs from the Black Hole album concept was dropped; the band, however, continued to utilize songs from these sessions into work for their second studio album. Pinkerton was released as the band's second studio album in September 1996. Peaking at number 19 on the Billboard 200, it was considered a critical and commercial failure at the time of its release, selling far less than its triple platinum predecessor. However, in the years following its release, it has seen much critical and commercial championing.
