Simple Plan, a band of French-Canadian thirtysomethings best known for a song featuring Mark Hoppus and a debut album titled around a ball joke, has released a song with 40-year-old Correll Haynes Jr. (née Nelly), entitled “I Don’t Want to Go To Bed.” What a time to forget why any of us are alive in the first place!
The song has Maroon 5 castoff vibes, and the first time I listened to it, I couldn’t tell which verse was Nelly. The video, which is Baywatch-themed, makes everything clearer. “Oh, there’s Nelly,” I said to myself, when Nelly appeared on the screen.
