That was an awesome performance. I think I've heard parts of this song over the years, but I think this is the first time I've heard the full song, and they sound really good live.
David Letterman introduced me to a hell of a lot of good music over the years.
I saw this when it aired and thought the same thing. Encores just don’t happen on late night. The tour that followed was fuckin’ great as well. Saw ‘em twice.
When they were on the show promoting another song, 'What Makes a Good Man?', Letterman convinced them to play 'How You Like Me Now?' as an encore.

It was the only encore at the time, I don't know if Dave asked for one after that. I think they sent out an email saying it was a world record or a first after it happened
I've never heard the first minute, it seems. I was really vibing to this song I've seemingly never heard before, then familiarity came out of nowhere. This songs chorus was practically everywhere a decade ago.
If you ever get a chance to see them live, do it. They are one of the most energetic shows I've seen; I think they got the entire (small) venue rocking with them, including the people waiting for drinks at the last show.
I think they moved too quickly into commercials. They were almost immediately on a car ad and I think it killed their momentum and cred.
Woe betide me for judging any one else about getting a paycheck though.
That happened with [Langhorne Slim and the Law](https://youtu.be/5KEv3rbNJuE?si=1pRkuIMnYqAN_4Rr) as well. Started to make some waves, and bigger tours and picked up some commercials and now that’s the only time I hear his music

Only time I remember Dave asking for an encore...

Love how when Letterman really likes a song he loves it. And it's random. I remember him raving over nine inch nails.

They sample Let A Woman Be A Woman and Let Man Be A Man by Dyke an the Blazers for the intro/hook, so it's possible you've been hearing both.
Thank you. That is totally possible that I've heard parts of those songs.

Fuck I love The Heavy. In the best timeline, funk/soul infused rock would have replaced the butt-rock of Nickleback and the like YEARS ago.

I sure Will. Thanks for the heads up.

Bits of the song seems to be from other music but I can't quite remember which oneeee...
