Paralyzer

In an interview by Todd Shearon (who worked with Finger Eleven in a management capacity) on his MySpace site, Finger Eleven's guitarist James Black revealed that the creation of "Paralyzer" came about by chance: "Paralyzer was this riff we started jamming so our photographer friend would have something to take pictures of. There was no thought as to what it was going to be about or whether it was going to be dancy. We were just like 'holy s--t, this is a song, this is cool.' It's just hard to just bop your head and rock out to most of our songs. This is one of the first times we've written a song that we can actually do that to."

Finger Eleven's lead singer Scott Anderson has explained the meaning behind band's name as: "When everything is pushing you in one direction and your instinct drives you in another - that's finger eleven."

This was Finger Eleven's band's first #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts.
