Gives You Hell is one of those almost novelty rock tunes that surfaces every once in a while, like Nickelback’s Rock Star or the all-time classic Pretty Fly (For A White Guy).

There’s the comedy featuring frontman Tyson Ritter playing dual roles of rebel and geek neighbours. The pair antagonize one another throughout the video, until a bout of suburban wife-swapping seems to solve their quarrel. Hooray for wife-swapping!

As for the song, it’s a decent rock tune, with the requisite lyrics about waking up in the evening (surely a rip-off of Tenacious D’s “wake up at the crack of noon”?). And of course, it builds to an impressive, shouty chorus. The total effect is just a darned good fun stomp. It might never be a classic, but like the layabouts in the video, I suspect that was never the ambition in the first place!
