Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley and Dave Baksh were recently on SiriusXM’s Pop Rocks, and they talked about seeing their music on the big screen.
Whitley said that when he heard In Too Deep in American Pie, he felt that it ruined the party scene in the film. Baksh added, “That is the thing about this band…We were supposed to be a part of Zoolander…We saw the scene we were supposed to be a part of, and we were like, we are going to ruin this scene.”
Why do they feel that way? “I don’t know if Jerry Finn [their late music producer] got into our heads, and the self-depreciation just reached a whole new level, ” Baksh said. “Every time we see our song, and we are together in a room, and we see it in a movie, we are just like, ‘man, we don’t know if this fits.'”
I think their music fits everything. Well, maybe not a love scene, but everything else.
