魔数41（Sum 41） 是一隊來自加拿大安大略的流行朋克樂團。該樂團成員來自當地高校樂團”1996年夏季的41天”。成員為Deryck Whibley(主結他手，主音), Dave Baksh (結他手，和音), Jason McCaslin (低音結他手，和音), Steve Jocz (鼓手，和音)。在1999年，自與唱片公司Island Records簽約，Sum 41一共發表了四張大碟、一張EP及十多張單曲。

Sum 41 introduction
Sum 41 hit worldwide radar in 1996 after tiny Ajax, Ontario, proved unable to fully contain the foursome’s blathering mixture of punk-pop riffing, hip-hop poses, and toilet-bowl humor. Led by guitarist/vocalist Deryck Whibley, who looked like a mash-up of the Prodigy’s Keith Flint and cartoon land’s Calvin, the band also included guitarist/vocalist Dave Baksh, bassist Cone McCaslin, and drummer Steve Jocz. Wooed by the boys’ goofy antics and incendiary live show (and excited about the prospect of promoting their very own blink-182), Island put Sum 41 on the payroll in 1999. The Half Hour of Power EP followed, and Warped Tour dates got the word out. They returned in 2000 with the fun-filled full-length All Killer No Filler, and the singles ”In Too Deep” and ”Fat Lip” became staples of both modern rock radio and Total Request Live.
An extensive tour followed, and Sum 41 enjoyed their boffo success the way all near-teenage boys would, with plenty of towel-snapping, groupie-loving, and self-depreciating, low-ball humor. In 2002, they returned to wax with Does This Look Infected? While the album was a bit harder-edged, it found the band just as jazzed as ever to mix punk-pop business with sophomoric pleasure: the video for ”Hell Song” featured the fellas acting out a sort of rock star debauchery cage match with the aid of a few celebrity action figures. Metallica, Jesus Christ, and the Osbournes all made appearances in the hilarious clip.

Not all fun and games, however, their involvement in the charity group War Child Canada had Sum 41 lending a hand in the making of a 2004 documentary covering the effects of war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Five days into filming, fighting and gunfire suddenly erupted around them, and they barely escaped unharmed -- these events led to 2004’s slightly more mature and serious effort, Chuck, named for the UN aid worker, Chuck Pelletier, who was instrumental in getting them to safety. The DVD Rocked: Sum 41 in Congo was released at the end of 2005 and the live album Go Chuck Yourself appeared the following March. Guitarist Dave Baksh left the band during the spring of 2006 due to creative differences, going on to form the metal-punk outfit Brown Brigade. Sum 41 continued on as a trio, and their first album as such, Underclass Hero, appeared in July 2007.



Sum 41 - Some Say



Some say we’re never meant to grow up

I’m sure they never knew enough

I know the pressures won’t go

Away

It’s too late



Find out the difference somehow

It’s too late to even have faith

Don’t think things will ever change

You must be dreaming



Think before you make up your mind

You don’t seem to realize

I can do this on my own

And if I fall I’ll take it all

It’s so easy after all



Believe me cause now’s the time to try

Don’t wait, the chance will pass you by

Time’s up to figure it out

You can’t say it’s too late



Seems like everything we knew

Turned out were never even true

Don’t trust, things will ever change

You must be dreaming

(Dreaming)



Think before you make up your mind

You don’t seem to realize

I can do this on my own

And if I fall I’ll take it all (Wake me up, wake up)

It’s so easy after all



guitar solo



Some say we’re better off without

Knowing what life is all about

I’m sure they’ll never realize the way

It’s too late



Somehow it’s different everyday

In some ways it never fades away

Seems like it’s never gonna change

I must be dreaming

(Dreaming, Dreaming)



Think before you make up your mind

You don’t seem to realize

I can do this on my own

Think before you make up your mind

You don’t seem to realize

I can do this on my own

And if I fall I’ll take it all (Wake me up, wake up)

It’s so easy after all



Believe me, it’s alright

It’s so easy after all

Believe me, it’s alright

It’s so easy after all
