"Pain For Pleasure" is Sum 41's spoof on metal bands, complete with faux-Satanic lyrics like: A killing spree through eternity The Devil stabs you in the back The band loves heavy metal, but can see the humor in it. In their hit "Fat Lip," they shout-out some of their favorite metal bands: Heavy Metal and mullets it's how we were raised Maiden and Priest were the gods that we praised
This was written and sung by the band's drummer, Steve Jocz (a.k.a Stevo 32), who claimed that he wrote it in 5 minutes while on the toilet.
Pain For Pleasure became Sum 41's alter ego. In the music video, which was shot along with the "Fat Lip" video and tacked on to the end, they wear leather and do the choreographed head bobs so common at metal shows. They came up with a whole backstory for the group, explaining that Jocz is "Pain" and guitarist Dave Baksh is "Pleasure," that they hated Sum 41. They did a "behind the music" type video for the group on their DVD Cross the T's and Gouge the I's, which came with their 2002 Does This Look Infected? CD, where we learn they're Scottish.
