And so must the movie, a timid, screamingly unfunny rip-off of Heathers (they wish) in which a high school newbie (Brittany Snow) helps three popular girls exact revenge on John Tucker (Desperate Housewives hunk Jess Metcalfe) for pretending each girl is the only one he's boffing. Awful.

    “Time to Pretend”

    MGMT | 2008

    Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
