Here’s one of those songs that an algorithm tossed my way. Flavor of the Weak was the first single from American Hi-Fi’s debut album in December 2000. It wasn’t quite a Top 40 single (it stalled at number 41) but did well at alt-rock radio alongside then-new contemporaries like Sum 41, Good Charlotte, and Blink-182. The producer was Canadian Bob Rock.
Points if you grokked to the video being themed after a 1986 documentary called Heavy Metal Parking Lot. And what of singer Stacy Jones? He’s now Miley Cyrus’ musical director.
