"Festival Song" is a single by pop punk band Good Charlotte, released in 2001. It was the last single from their self-titled album. Joel Madden of Good Charlotte says the song is about the HFStival, an annual rock festival sponsored by Washington, D.C. / Baltimore, Maryland radio station WHFS, "I grew up coming to the HFStival. . . I wrote this song about being here, how we wanted to quit our jobs to be in a band. We have all our friends, the fans and the radio support right here."
[edit] Trivia
- The song's music video was shot during the band's sets at both days of the 2001 HFStival. [1].
- The video features cameos from members of Mest, Linkin Park and New Found Glory.
- Benji Madden states on the Good Charlotte Video Collection DVD that the band only got to make this video, because they were touring a lot and record sales had started to go up.
- The lines "Your future's no future, I control my future" borrows the rift and basic meaning of the lines "no future, no future for you" from the song God Save the Queen (Sex Pistols song) by The Sex Pistols
