Todd plays "Bad Day" on the piano.
Daniel Powter - BAD DAY
A one-hit wonder retrospective
Todd: Heh, I guess we're doing this.
Clip of Daniel Powter - "Bad Day"
Daniel Powter: Where is the moment we needed the most?
Todd (VO): [rushing through it] Welcome back to One Hit Wonderland, where we take a look at bands and artists known for only one song. Yes, we are going to continue with the half-dozen or so requests I sold off [images of Amydog] to fix my sick dog. She's much better now thanks to your contributions. Although I did notice since her surgery, she does fart a lot more. Don't know what that's about.
Todd: Anyway, the requests are great, 'cause they force me to do songs that I have been avoiding for years, and years, and years... and years. And years.
Daniel: 'Cause you had a bad day, you're takin' one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
Todd (VO): "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter. The smash hit that was... basically everywhere in 2006, is by some metrics [shot of news article] the biggest One Hit Wonder of that entire decade.
Todd: If you have engaged with music at all since the turn of the millennium...
Todd (VO): ...then there is a 99.9% chance you recognize this song instantly. Like, even if you have done everything in your power to avoid this kind of music...
Todd: ...or music, period – even if you've listened to nothing but [image of...] books on tapes since 2006 – even you are probably going, "Oh, right. That song."
Daniel: You had a bad day, the camera don't lie
Todd (VO): At some point in the past twenty years, you have had at least one bad day. And when that happened, Daniel Powter was there for you.
Todd: And he was there for your good days too, and your mediocre days, and your sick days, holidays...
Todd (VO): Every single day of your life, you have had a decent chance of running into "Bad Day".
Daniel: You had a bad day
That is a serious achievement.
Todd: And hopefully Daniel Powter got some comfort out of it, because his career afterward was basically one long bad day.
Todd (VO): Like, usually, a good chunk of this show is parsing out whether this so-called One Hit Wonder deserves the label, but, uh, there is no disputing the status this time around. If you know a second Daniel Powter song, you're either Daniel Powter himself or you're someone related to him.
Todd: And I mean, like, immediate family, not like, a cousin or something. That-that's way too distant to care about Daniel Powter.
Todd (VO): Which is weird, because soft-rock stations loved shit like this! Almost everyone in this genre — if they had a first hit, they had a second hit. Not this guy.
Todd: How did that happen?
Todd (VO): In the most boring genre in human existence, Daniel Powter was somehow even too boring for that. But, I have been challenged to find something to say about this song, and you've paid me a lot of money for it, so that's what we're gonna do.
Todd: Let us find out, once and for all, where is the moment when you need it the most?
Daniel: You had a bad day, you had a bad day
Before the hit
Image of professional headshot taken at the beginning of Daniel's career
Todd (VO): Before the hit, Daniel Powter was... you know, some guy.
Todd: His story starts dull and stays dull, but what I can tell you is that [images of Daniel in different knit hats] he is Canadian, which you should have guessed by the hat he's wearing, in everything you see him in. The [image of...] Canadian Top Hat, they called it. He says he was inspired to music by [image of...] British songwriter Nick Drake.
Audio of Nick Drake - "Pink Moon"
Nick Drake: I saw it written and I saw it say, a pink moon is on its
Who he sounds absolutely nothing like.
Todd (VO): Like, he knew he wanted to sing, but he struggled with his music lessons because he's dyslexic, and he dropped out of college, and dedicated himself to playing by ear. [Cover image of Daniel's debut album I'm Your Betty] He put out an obscure album in 2000, and from what I read, it [image of text explaining the album's rarity] sounds like they printed about five copies of it, and it sold even less.
Todd: Like, by his own admission, he was not really ready for prime time yet.
Todd (VO): [image of...] Uh, it's only available as a bootleg on YouTube, [caption reads: "this is the worst song title in history" and underlines a misspelling of Daniel's name] where the uploader misspelled his name several times. [clip of opening for Higher Ground] Basically his only notable accomplishment in his pre-hit years was that he made it onto the soundtrack of a Canadian high school show, starring pre-Star Wars Hayden Christensen.
Todd: I ca-can't believe this guy and Anakin Skywalker have the same origin.
Clip of scene from Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen): I killed them. I killed them all. They're like animals! And I slaughtered them like animals! I hate them!
The song starts to play
Daniel: You had a bad day, you're taking one down, you sing
More clips from Higher Ground
Todd (VO): Anyway, because I want something to be in this section, I hunted down the couple of times that not-Degrassi here used his songs.
Clip from Higher Ground plays; one of Daniel's songs can be heard in the background
Uh huh. So what I will say here is that Daniel Powter definitely makes the type of music that plays in shows like these. And based on this, I would assume that the only bigger, better things waiting for him was...
Todd: ...maybe showing up in the background of better TV shows.
Todd (VO): Like, not like [clips from...] The OC or anything, not that good, but like, [...and...] One Tree Hill or something like that.
Todd: But there were, in fact, bigger and better things waiting for him.
Todd (VO): [cover image of Daniel's self-titled second album] In his mid-30s, he finally got signed and put out an album.
Todd: And then a [clip of...] Coke commercial in France licensed one of his songs. From there, it spread through Europe, and then, the world. Thanks a lot, Coca-Cola!
The big hit
Clip of "Bad Day"
Todd (VO): Well, that's a memorable piano riff at least. It's fun to play.
Todd: [plays the song's iconic opening riff] Yeah, that's uh, you know; I-
Todd (VO): I don't hate "Bad Day", I don't. It's not a bad song. I mean, it's not like the worst song I've ever heard or anything.
Todd: It isn't. [Todd audibly hesitates] It isn't.
Todd (VO): You know, I've never really thought much about this song. I never said, "Man, this song sucks!" Which...
Todd: ...you know me, I'll say that about anything. [stock image of young children] My grandkids came up to me and sang a song about how much they loved me and I thought it sucked, I'd say it to their faces. So the fact that I've never...
Todd (VO): ...actively resented Daniel Powter, despite the song being everywhere, that means it must be doing something right.
Todd: But the fact that I've also never felt like hearing this song ever, in any way – that means it must doing something wrong, too. Well, let's see if we can't go into the lyrics and figure out why.
Daniel: Where is the moment we needed the most?
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
A loud buzzer sound plays (not a rhyme)
Todd: Hmm-hmm, old jokes don't die. Anyway.
Daniel: And I don't need no carryin' on
'Cause you had a bad day, you're takin' one down
Todd: What?
Daniel: You're taking one down
Todd (VO): Taking one down? Taking one what down?
Daniel: You had a bad day, the camera don't lie
Camera? What camera, what are you talking about? Is she, like, a news anchor? Did she look miserable on set today?
Daniel: You're coming back down and you really don't mind
Todd (VO): You really don't mind? That you had a bad day? Like, yes, you did mind, otherwise it wouldn't have been a bad day.
Daniel: You had a bad day, you had a bad day
Okay, I thought diving into the lyrics would help me get a better handle on the song, but it-it makes me feel it less. It's all very vague.
Daniel: You need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
Todd: What? Like, none of those three lines go together.
Todd (VO): In fact, when you try to figure out what this song is about exactly, you won't really find anything.
Todd: I think this guy subscribes to, like...
Clip of The Backstreet Boys - "I Want It That Way"
Todd (VO): ...the Max Martin school of songwriting.
Nick Carter: I never wanna hear you say
The Backstreet Boys: I want it that way
Like, it doesn't matter if the line actually goes here, it just has to sound like it does.
Todd: Like, he throws in a random "You and I" at one point.
Daniel: Oh, you and I
Todd (VO): And then he just never finishes the sentence or connects it to anything, that-that's just how he writes. Like, you don't really need a narrative in this one, it's just vibes, it's pure vibes. You don't have to know what it means exactly, you get the idea; you had a bad day, but it's gonna be alright.
Daniel: You tell me your blue skies fade to grey
I think the song is supposed to be comforting and I think that's why it connected really well with people. Also, you will find people who hate this song a lot more than I do. And I get it, like...
Todd: I don't particularly like this song, but if you're having a bad day, [image of two women hugging] this song is like a big warm hug from a friend.
Todd (VO): Sometimes when things are kinda shitty, you need that friend to put things into perspective. Like yeah, you know, that sucked, but it's just a bad day. They happen.
Todd: It'll be okay tomorrow, let's just make some mojitos and watch rom-coms, and we'll put all of this behind us. [image of a woman being showered with confetti] But if you're having a good day, this song is a total buzzkill and it's thoroughly annoying.
Video of a house on fire
Todd (VO): And if you're having a really bad day, then... Oh, buddy. Sometimes it's not just a bad day. Sometimes, things are seriously fucking bad and tomorrow's not gonna be any better. And in that situation, that friend trying to make it seem like it's not that big a deal, that just annoys the fucking piss out of you.
Todd: Like, if your day is "I found out my wife is cheating on me" or "My cat has leukemia", then Daniel Powter going, "Aww, who had a bad day?"
Daniel: You had a bad day
Todd (VO): Fuck off, you patronizing dick!
Todd: Get out, why do I even hang with you?
Clip of 2007 NFL Fantasy commercial
Daniel: 'Cause you had a bad day, you're takin' one down
Todd (VO): I think that's why the song is so funny if you use it as a joke. Like, there are no ends of commercials and viral videos that use this song. [clip of "Mascot bloopers" video] Like, they started springing up right away. Like, check this out in all its pixelated glory.
Daniel: You had a bad day, you're takin' one down
Ah-ha, sucks for you! Like, i-it's such a smarmy song; it already kinda sounds like it was making fun of you.
Todd: And it's not even the state of your mind when you hear it, it's... It's in the text! Insofar as the song has any text.
Todd (VO): Like, I don't think any of these lyrics actually mean anything, but this line...
Daniel: You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carryin' on
"I don't need no carrying on." It sounds like Powter is just straight telling you to shut up and quit whining already!
Todd: Like, "I don't need this. Oh my God, are you still going on about that? We all have bad days, Amanda, you don't hear me bitching about it."
Todd (VO): Like, something about his smug, chipper, chirpy voice. Like, does this song sound to me like a hit? Yeah, I'm not surprised it was big. But I don't quite get why it was "#1 hit" big. Like, I checked out the video to see if maybe that was amazing.
Todd: Something you'd wanna watch on VH1 every day.
Todd (VO): And it-it just looks like everything else that was on that channel. It's cute I guess, but like, why did every VH1 video look like this? Why was that channel allergic to color? Why is everything about this guy so brown? [album cover for Daniel Powter] His clothes, his album, his videos.
Todd: But, I can tell you one thing about this video that does interest me.
Clip of Daniel playing the piano in the video
Todd: You see that? Look again.
The clip repeats
Todd: If you look, he is...
Todd (VO): ...clearly playing "Bad Day"...
Todd: ...in the key of C [plays a C major chord several times] Even though the song is obviously in E-flat. [plays the first few notes of the song]
Todd (VO): That's a huge difference, what the hell? Like, I thought maybe this guy was a fraud. Like, he said he did drop out of music school. So maybe he couldn't fake playing in the right key, he had to switch it to the easy key with no sharps or flats. But upon research, it looks like he can, in fact, play his instrument, better than I can most certainly. And also, the song's really easy regardless of what key it's in. So it seems more likely that he's playing it in C because he never learned to play it in E-flat because it's too high.
Daniel: [singing in a lower key] Because you had a bad day, you're takin' one down
[singing] You're singing "Bad Day", but not quite that high.
Todd: It strains his poor voice, and it's hard to sing live.
Todd (VO): I mean, three whole keys down, that's a lot. I guess in the studio, his producers told him he wasn't annoying enough to be catchy unless he really stretched that falsetto. [does an impression of Daniel's strained falsetto] High like this.
Todd: But of course, I can tell you why this song got big. I remember why.
Clip of Fox Network ad for American Idol
Announcer: Tonight, it's finally here! The two-hour season premiere of American Idol starts right now!
Todd (VO): Yes, in the mid-2000s, I did watch American Idol, and if you meet someone who says they didn't, they're probably lying.
Clip from Season 5 of American Idol
Host: Going home, tonight, is... Mandisa. [sounds of crowd cheering followed by the song playing]
Anyway, if I have my timeline right, I think Season 5 was the first season they gave the eliminations a theme song.
Daniel: 'Cause you had a bad day, you're taking one down
Todd (VO): And they picked "Bad Day" for it, which... You know, I think that's a good call. 'Cause, in the previous seasons, the eliminations had this kinda...
Todd: ...serious, funeral vibes to them.
Todd (VO): So, "Bad Day" set exactly the right tone.
Daniel: You had a bad day, the camera don't lie
Like, it's sad... but it's not that sad. Let's be levelheaded about this; no one died or anything. They just reached their fifteenth minute, is all.
Todd: Just one bad day.
Todd (VO): I don't remember Idol being where I first heard this song – I think it was around already – but, it definitely got a big boost from it! Like, [clips of Kelly Clarkson's...] I would say that after "Since U Been Gone" and [...Carrie Underwood's...] "Before He Cheats", [...and Daniel performing "Bad Day"] this is the biggest hit Idol ever made. It was everywhere, which is pretty impressive considering the song is basically a bowl of warm oatmeal.
Todd: I mean, oatmeal with some cinnamon and sugar in it. It's not, you know, the worst meal you've ever had. But still, not the most exciting either.
Todd (VO): And you know, there's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes, you just need some comfort food, and that's what America wanted in the dark days of 2006. For the record, I don't think he'd disagree with anything I'm saying about his songwriting here. [image of news article in which Daniel states that he wrote the song phonetically] I looked up some interviews, and he said that: 1). The lyrics are more about syllables than actually meaning anything, and 2). It is supposed to be kind of teasing you.
Clip of foreign media interview with Daniel
Daniel: You know about... you just start complaining about a lot of stupid stuff that's not worth complaining about, like "Oh, my... latte was just too cold today", and "Oh, I-I was, you know, my manicure", and it's kinda just like a reminder of what-what how lucky most people really are to be where we are and...
Todd: So, it's not like anything about this song happened by accident.
Daniel: You had a bad day
Todd (VO): It's kind of ironic, really, because "Bad Day" is the story of someone having one bad day in an otherwise happy story.
Todd: And Daniel Powter's story is basically the exact opposite.
The failed follow-up
Todd: Okay, I've already talked about this phenomenon in one of the billion episodes I've done. But almost none of the acts I cover are perfect, ideal examples of One Hit Wonders.
Clips of Rick Dees & His Cast of Idiots performing "Disco Duck" and "Disc-Gorilla"
Todd (VO): Like, if you get a Top 10 hit, you will get another charting song. Not necessarily another hit, but you will get at least a tiny sliver of attention because you already had the first hit. Daniel Powter, though, is one of the pure One Hit Wonders.
Todd: He is one of about a dozen and a half people who reached [images of a line graph with "#1" over it...] #1, and then for the rest of their career, their songs were only able to reach a chart peak of [...and an empty graph with "N/A" over it] number nothing. Not stalled out at #53, or 55, or 82, or whatever. No, he never reached the Hot 100 again, at all, ever.
Clip of Bobby McFerrin - "Don't Worry, Be Happy"
Todd (VO): The only other people who have pulled this off did it by being extremely weird flukes [clip of Jan Hammer's...] like the "Miami Vice Theme" or whatever.
Clip of The Hollywood Argyles - "Alley Oop"
The Hollywood Argyles: He rides thru the jungle tearin' limbs offa trees
Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop
Right, like, that's the caliber of song I'm talking about. But obviously, that doesn't describe Daniel Powter, who is as middle-of-the-road as they come. So how did an artist as vanilla and as radio-friendly as Daniel Powter join those ranks?
Todd: Well, let's see.
Clip of Daniel Powter - "Free Loop"
Daniel: I'm a little used to calling outside your name
Todd (VO): His follow-up was called [single cover for...] "Free Loop". I think it's called that because it's built off of [screenshot of a free "Suspenseful Strange Piano" sample] a free piano loop he got off the internet.
Todd: Like, I don't even know if that's a joke or not. Like, it's the best guess I have 'cause it sure doesn't show up in the lyrics.
Daniel: Cause it's hard for me to lose
In my life I've found only time will tell
I will figure out that we can baby
We can do a one night stand, yeah
Todd (VO): Ok, by "free loop", we mean "free love", I guess.
Daniel: And baby, we can do a one night stand
Look, if you're gonna make a soft rock song about hooking up, you can't call this what it is. You know, you gotta be at least a little romantic about it.
Daniel: I've been fabulous through to find my tattered name
I'll be stewed tomorrow if I don't leave as both the same
Todd (VO): [sighs] I-I really don't like this guy as a songwriter. He sounds like he write his lyrics by mix-and-matching fridge magnets. Also, this music video's insane. Little baby Daniel Powter wants a piano [text appears: "with the same damn hat even then"] Oh, he saved up until an adult and he bought it with his piggy bank money. Good luck with that, you can't have more than seventeen Canadian dollars in there. My first piano was so expensive that my dad had to lie to my mom about how much it cost. [text appears: "Don't watch this, Mom."] Then he has to sell the piano, but then he gets his big break, and then later, he stumbles across it and he restores it. Call me a cold-hearted jerk if you want, but this is just silly to me. This is like me finding my old [image of a beat-up laptop] twenty-year-old laptop and trying to edit videos on it. A new piano is fine.
Todd: Well, it's obvious why that one flopped. Let's try the next one, "Jimmy Gets High".
Clip of Daniel Powter - "Jimmy Gets High"
Daniel: Jimmy you know
Everybody hates you when you're living off rock n' roll
So you get high tonight
Todd (VO): I think this is gonna be my favorite of his songs because I can tell what it's about.
Daniel: Jimmy gets high tonight
It's about a sad rock-n-roller who deals with the stress of fame by gettin' high. [sighs] Boy, is this the wrong guy to be singing about sex, drugs and rock-n-roll. I mean, the Elton John influence is just obvious, but the-the writing's just weak. It just doesn't connect. I mean, I'll tell you what gets high: Powter's voice.
Daniel: [Autotuned voice goes...] Jimmy gets high tonight
Todd (VO): Also, is your thing really gonna be wearing that fuckin' knit cap fucking everywhere? Even at an orgy? That does not go with that suit, man. Take off that fucking beanie.
Todd: Well, that's also a flop. Here's the next single, "Lie to Me".
Clip of Daniel Powter - "Lie to Me"
Daniel: I knew this girl named Detroit Cool
Who lived up in my block
A loud buzzer sound plays (No)
Todd: Absolutely not.
Daniel: Tell me, once again, would you lie to me?
Todd (VO): Look, I would describe his whole style as, "What if Adam Levine wasn't funky?" Like, it's funny he's relying on that falsetto so much when apparently he can't pull it off out of the studio. Uh, at least now he's switched to a different kind of dumb hat.
Todd: But otherwise, yeah, that's another flop.
Clip of Daniel Powter - "Love You Lately"
Todd (VO): [sighs] And then we have a fifth single off this album called "Love You Lately", which sounds exactly like all the other ones.
Daniel: I'm the one who loves you lately
And Jesus Christ, five singles! This is how you know "Bad Day" was a huge hit; it's insane that we have four more videos off of one album, none of which remotely justify putting any money behind it. Like, there is no way any of these songs get any promotion without "Bad Day" taking off first.
Daniel: The only one's that around this Babylon
Todd: I've already forgot how every single one of those songs goes.
Did he ever do anything else?
Todd: Well... I mean, yes, but also no.
Clip of Daniel Powter - "First Plane Home"
Daniel: I woke up early to baby blue
Todd (VO): He released two more albums, [album cover for Daniel Powter's...] the first of which was called Under the Radar, which...
Todd: Uh, sounds like he knew exactly what was about to happen there.
Daniel: I can't believe I missed your birthday again
And I wanna come back but I just don't know when now
Todd (VO): Anyway, this is a song about how touring is hard and he misses you. I guess the song's alright. Here's another.
Clip of Daniel Powter - "Best Of Me"
Daniel: I'm hoping you'll sing along
Though it's not your favorite song
Christ, all of these songs sound the same. This is boring, I'm bored. Why did you request this?
Todd: While the music itself is dull, the story of his downfall is at least a tiny bit more interesting.
Todd (VO): Like, a lot of guys get their first taste of fame and get even more ambitious. Powter did the opposite. He said he knew he was never gonna top "Bad Day", so he stopped trying for that mega massive mainstream success.
Todd: Like, maybe if that song had done a little worse, he'd try a little harder.
Clip of Daniel Powter live performance
Todd (VO): Also, he said straight up that, except for playing music, he just really does not like any part of the music industry; he doesn't like interviews, doesn't like TV. Like, VH1 still had some clout by that point, so if he wanted to, he would've been plastered all over that network. But he just had no mic skills and no camera skills.
Clip of James Blunt - "You're Beautiful"
James Blunt: You're beautiful
Powter will be forever associated with James Blunt, the other wuss rock One Hit Wonder of 2006. And Powter said he doesn't see the connection, he thinks [screenshot of quote where Daniel says...] he sounds more like James Brown than James Blunt. Which means we can probably also count delusion as a possible factor.
Todd: And also, he had one other major issue preventing him from following it up. Uh, it turns out Daniel Powter developed a serious problem with the powder, if you get me. [Todd sniffles and rubs his finger under his nose]
Clip of contemporary interview with Daniel
Daniel: You know, I did a lot of drugs. You know, I was really addicted to drugs and alcohol.
Todd (VO): Like, eventually he had to work to get clean, he got completely sober.
Todd: Which doesn't sound like much fun, but you know, if he was ever feeling down and out in rehab, well...
Clip of "Bad Day"
Todd (VO): ...I know a song he could listen to cheer himself up.
Clip of Daniel Powter - "Cupid"
Daniel: Take me home, spin me around
In 2012, he released his final album. Looks like he was trying to get on that Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz train.
Todd: He finally took the hat off, thankfully.
Todd (VO): You know, I thought he was gonna be bald, but uh, I guess he wears that hat because he's got, like, this weird Megamind forehead. But like, I wouldn't have noticed or said anything if he wasn't so intent on covering it up. Like, you're just drawing attention to it, man.
Todd: That last album came out in 2012, and that's been it for him.
Clip of Daniel's appearance on Canada's Got Talent
Todd (VO): The last anyone heard of him was last year where, as part of a cute little stunt, he showed up on Canada's Got Talent pretending to be a contestant, which...
Todd: ...I think all these talent shows do stunts like that.
Daniel: Hi, my name's Daniel. I thought I would sing, uh, an original song that I wrote.
Howie Mandel: So, I always think it's scary when people sing their original songs, because if you pick something that's Top 40 and you're playing it, you're apt to get people tapping their toes, and you kinda take that risk.
Daniel: Yeah.
Todd (VO): I like that even in his home country, which has massive subsidies for its homegrown talent, he doesn't get recognized. [image of the chart peaks of Daniel's singles in Canada] For the record, a couple of his songs did chart in his home country, so I guess he's not a One Hit Wonder there. But I've been told by many Canadians that the Canadian charts mean nothing, even in Canada. And since no one in the crowd recognizes him, as far as I'm concerned, his One Hit Wonder status is as pure as the driven tundra.
Todd: On the other hand, they do eventually put it together.
Daniel: Where is the moment we needed the most?
People in the crowd start cheering
Todd (VO): Howie Mandel's like, "Oh! It's Daniel Powter!" Which is how you know this is taking place in Canada.
Todd: In this country, we'd never put it together.
Clip from American Idol
Todd (VO): Howard Stern would just be sitting there not getting the joke. Like, "Well that's not an original song. What are you doing?" And uh, I think that will probably be the last anyone ever hears from him.
Daniel bows as the song plays
Daniel: You sing a sad song just to turn it around
Did he deserve better?
Todd: [blows a raspberry and does a thumbs down]
Daniel: You had a bad day, you're taking one down
Todd (VO): [singing] You wrote a bad song.
Todd: The numbers don't lie— [sighs] No, I can't quite call "Bad Day" a bad song.
Todd (VO): It has something to it, it has a very universal power and I'm not gonna claim it didn't earn its way into all our hearts. Or our minds at least, especially the part of our minds that remember all the annoying songs. But you know, ultimately I don't see what this guy offers that you couldn't get from your average guy at the open mic night at the bar. This was a man destined to have one or less hits. [clips of more recent "Bad Day" performance and Daniel playing an acoustic cover of the song] But you know, for a guy who will always be associated with bad days, he seems thoroughly fine. He keeps pumping out different versions of his one hit, so he's certainly not mad at it. If he's at all resentful that he didn't get any bigger, he sure as hell doesn't show it.
Todd: And you know what? Good for him
Daniel: You had a bad day
[spoken] Thank you, thank you very much.
Closing Tag Song: Alvin and the Chipmunks - "Bad Day"
