Hayden – Bad As They Seem

"Bad as They Seem," the single from Hayden's second album, was released with an accompanying video, which got into steady rotation at MuchMusic. The song tells the story of a twenty-something guy, living in his parents' basement, working a dead-end job, and dreaming about the sixteen year-old girl (and her mother) who lives right down the street. It placed 36th in Chart magazine's 2005 list of top Canadian singles.
