"Pretend We're Dead" is a 1992 song by grunge band L7, from the album ''Bricks Are Heavy''. The song was written and sung by Donita Sparks.〔http://rateyourmusic.com/release/ep/l7/pretend_were_dead/〕 The song peaked at #8 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks and just missed out on cracking the UK Top 20 Hit Singles, stalling at #21. The song has a 'dirty' sound synonymous with the grunge movement; distorted, industrial-punk influenced guitars. However the song has a crossover appeal with a typical 90's keyboard sound, that made the song radio friendly, even on conservative stations such as the BBC's Radio One. This is underlined by the immediate and infectious chorus, despite a heavy rock, punk attitude and sound. L7 Performed the song on the UK family friendly music show "Top of the Pops" and the Channel 4 late night cult pop culture show "The Word" - often seen as the antithesis of "Top of the Pops". This was never more evident than when Donita Sparks dropped her trousers, during a performance, revealing no underwear. The single was released on the following formats in the UK - 7", 12", CD Single and as a limited edition (vinyl), picture disc. The song was featured in the video games, TV shows and films including ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'', ''Rock Band 2'', ''Beavis and Butt-head'', ''Hindsight'' and ''The Perks of Being a Wallflower'' in addition to the trailer for ''Shaun of the Dead''. ==Track listing== # "Pretend We're Dead" (Sparks) # "Shitlist" (Sparks) # "Lopsided Head" # "Mr. Integrity" (Sparks) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pretend We're Dead」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
