In honor of the picture Paul Stanley took of me this past weekend, it seemed like Filter's hit "Take a Picture" was an appropriate Retro Video of the Week. Released in late 1999, it rose to #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 2000. In addition, it reached #1 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play charts, which seems strange, as well as the top 10 on the Billboard Adult Top 40, Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks, and Hot Modern Rock Tracks charts.
Interesting tidbit: the song has a great backstory. According to frontman Richard Patrick, the song is about him getting drunk on a flight, and fighting with flight attendants who tried to prevent him from taking all his clothes off. We've all been there.
Even more interesting tidbit: Patrick's older brother is actor Robert Patrick -- the T-1000.
