New Found Glory - Hit or Miss

Movie Samples as Song Intros 3
I mentioned last Friday I'd be seeing pop-punk stalwarts New Found Glory in Atlantic City with Saves the Day supporting. It occurs to me now both bands have gone the movie scene intro route in their past.

"Hit or Miss" is by far the most popular song New Found Glory have written in their 13 year career. I doubt they've ever gone an entire set without playing it. In fact, it appears on each of their first two LPs. The first album, Nothing Gold Can Stay which contains the film sample (and others) came out in early 1999 on Eulogy but was re-released later that year on Drive-Thru Records. When the band released their self-titled album the following year on Drive-Thru (but this time with some money from MCA) producers had the band record a more cleaned up version of the song (and remove the 'A' from their name).
