ONE HIT WONDERLAND: “Bad Day” by Daniel Powter

Do you have to change bad day to bad high and then it makes sense

12:23

This artist is so irrelevant that not only did I not know his name, I didn't even know he was a man, for some reason my brain can only seem to remember this song being performed by a female artist, and I highly doubt that's even really a thing in the first place? But I saw this, with a man's name, and was confused for like 3 minutes because I was like, "I thought a girl did that song?"

14:30 and we thank him for it. This is the perfect song to start singing to yourself when your plastic spoon breaks during lunch to make yourself laugh at the inanity of your problems.

E flat is a weird key for a piano song too.

I had a bad day. Every fucking day. I listen to Death Metal and some Hard Core.

Yeah IDK if it's just because this song was everpresent exactly in my formative age of like 7-8, but I still truly and honestly love it

????
Most and Lost are absolutely rhymes

So Daniel Powter had a problem with the devil's powder….

If I was having a bad day, this song would not make it better.

this guy is so inoffensive, stereotype of a nice guy, you struggle to insult him

i think "i dont need to carrying on" is about giving up, todd

I will say, the phrase "you're taken one down" is a phrase in some parts of the world, including where I'm from. Basically another version of getting "knocked down a peg".

1 year ago already? i remember watching this the day it came out ^_^

Crushed so hard on the girl in this video. I have watched some bad movies just to see her again.

He sounds like he is singing it while doing an Adam Sandler impression.

Another song I the pleasure of not ever hearing

I remember in 2006 my friend telling me about this “cheesy” song that had hit #1 in France. The punchline was basically that music is easy to like when you don’t understand the lyrics very well and that France has bad taste in pop music. I remember my friend singing a few bars and being like “wow! That’s cheesy.” We both agreed it could never be a hit here in the states. Just one of those English-language songs that makes it big overseas. And then like 3 weeks later I heard it on the radio here in the US. On like top 40 pop radio. And then it didn’t stop. Then I was hearing it at the grocery store and the mall. And even today light listening radio loves it. That weird French #1 hit we thought would never make it here.

My one core memory of this song was in 2012, when the Dutch national team was knocked out in the group stage of that year's Euro's. The next morning, a public radio DJ played the song, with soundbites of the match commentary of the opposition scoring goals spliced through it.

Love that you mentioned The OC bc the actress who plays the girl in this video was Anna on The OC.

One Tree Hill out here catching strays lol

That said, I absolutely hate vibe songwriting. Only Red Hot Chili Peppers gets a pass, and that's because the other three people in the band are so fucking great that it doesn't matter. Daniel Powter wasn't friends with Flea.

I must be picky because the biggest irritation I have about this song is the video, that starts with them waking at different times. From then on the concept of them just missing each other doesn't work for me. And while we're at it, just missing meeting someone you barely know exists is NOT the end of the world. You can draw a picture with someone you've never met and connect on a feeling that's pretty universal. If the meaning of that is "you're destined to be together", then no not really.
