About:
Nickelback is a hard rock band formed in Hanna, Alberta by Chad Kroeger, Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake and then drummer Brandon Kroeger. The band is one of the most renowned of the modern post-grunge genre, along with groups such as 3 Doors Down and Black Stone Cherry, performing in a slightly more radio-friendly manner of audio apart from the traditional 1990's grunge music era. Although the founders of the band hail from Hanna, Alberta, a small town east of Calgary, they are now based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The band's name originates from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger often had to give customers in his previous job at Starbucks, and would frequently say "Here's your nickel back".
The band is signed to EMI at home and Roadrunner Records for the rest of the world.

Lyrics:
I judge by what she's wearing
Just how many heads I'm tearing
Off of assholes coming onto her
(Each night seems like it's getting worse)
And I wish she'd take the night off
So I don't have to fight off
Every a*****e coming onto her
(It happens every night she works)
They'll go and ask the DJ
To find out just what would she say
If they all tried coming on to her
(Don't they know it's never going to work?)
They think they'll get inside her
With every drink they buy her
As they all try coming on to her
(This time somebody's gettin' hurt)
Here comes the next contestant
Is that your hand on my girlfriend?
Is that your hand?
I wish you'd do it again (I'll watch you leave here limping)
And I wish you'd do it again (I'll watch you leave here limping)
There goes the next contestant
And I even fear the ladies
They're cool but twice as crazy
Just as bad for coming onto her
(Don't they know it's never going to work?)
And each time she bats an eyelash
Somebody's grabbing her a**
Everyone keeps coming onto her
(This time somebody's gettin' hurt)
Here comes the next contestant
Is that your hand on my girlfriend?
Is that your hand?
I wish you'd do it again (I'll watch you leave here limping)
And I wish you'd do it again (I'll watch you leave here limping)
There goes the next contestant
I'm hateing what she's wearing
Everybody here keeps staring
Can't wait til they get what they deserve
This time somebody's gettin' hurt
Here comes the next contestant
Is that your hand on my girlfriend?
Is that your hand?
I wish you'd do it again (I'll watch you leave here limping)
And I wish you'd do it again (I'll watch you leave here limping)
And I wish you'd do it again (each night seems like it's getting worse)
And I wish you'd do it again (this time somebody's gettin' hurt)
There goes the next contestant
