Predictable (Good Charlotte song)

"Predictable" is the lead single from Good Charlotte's third studio album, The Chronicles of Life and Death. This was the first single released that featured Chris Wilson as the band's drummer. This is not to be confused with "The Anthem", which was the first video to feature Wilson. "Predictable" was released to radio on August 24, 2004.[1] The song was also released in a Japanese version; in this version, only Benji Madden sings the Japanese part because he is the only one who knows Japanese. The single reached the top 20 in Australia and the United Kingdom, where it topped the UK Rock Chart for a week.

The music video, inspired by the film Edward Scissorhands, takes place in a town drawn by the guitarist Billy Martin, with the band in a house singing the English version. But the Japanese version was dubbed over the English audio.

This song was used for a commercial of Donkey Konga 2, and members of Good Charlotte also appear in the commercial.[2]
