New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Capitol Records) Good
Charlotte premiered the video for "Last Night," their latest single, on March 14th, 2011 at www.funnyordie.com, the award-winning website that has become one of the top destination for comedy on the web. The high-energy clip pays homage to the band's favorite game show, "Family
Double Dare," which aired on Nickelodeon in the early 1990's.
Collaborating with Funny or Die, Good
Charlotte went to great lengths to recreate every last detail of the game show - down to the on-set advertisements, "pie cam" and stagehands. To get an authentic look, the action was lensed with 1990's television cameras that were borrowed from a Korean TV station. But the ultimate coup was convincing Marc Summers to reprise his role as the host of "Family
Double Dare." The Red Team - "Cowabunga! And the Twins" which consists of Good Charlotte's Benji Madden, Joel Madden, Paul
Thomas and Dean Butterworth - face off against The Blue Team - "The Cheese Cutters" in such physical challenges as "Breakfast in Bed" and "Ready, Set, Go" while guitarist Billy
Martin jams in the performance scenes. Will they win a chance to traverse the obstacle course and find the flag in "Da Nose"? You can find out at:

"This video takes place in the 90's and we were all 90's kids, so we know it pretty well. This was one of our favorite shows growing up. I always wanted to go on Family
Double Dare, and now my dreams get to come true" says Benji Madden. Joel
Madden adds "I think that we're all so excited to actually just meet Marc Summers cause as a kid he was an afternoon fixture".
"Having never done anything quite like this, I was a bit nervous and out of my element," says Summers. "The guys from Good
Charlotte went out of their way to make me feel comfortable immediately. It was fun for me to see them become about eleven years old as they played on the set of their dreams!"
"
Last Night" is the second single from Cardiology, Good Charlotte's fifth studio album and first for Capitol Records. Praised by Billboard for mixing "Rolling Stones guitar hooks with a slamming four-on-the-floor beat," "
Last Night" follows the smash hit "Like It's Her Birthday," which was named one of the "Hot Singles" by People magazine.
Cardiology comes almost exactly a decade after the release of Good Charlotte's self-titled debut album. The band has sold 10 million records, scored numerous mainstream radio hits (including "The Anthem," "Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous," "
Hold On" and "Girls and Boys") and toured extensively. Good
Charlotte has appeared on the covers of Rolling Stone, Alternative Press and Kerrang! magazines, won an MTV Video
Music Award and performed on such shows as "Saturday Night Live," "TODAY," "The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "The Late Late Show with
Craig Ferguson," "Live with Regis and Kelly," "The Daily Habit," "Lopez Tonight" and "Chelsea Lately."
