"Girls and Boys" by Good Charlotte

On the birthday of Good Charlotte's guitarist Benji Madden and singer Joel Madden I'm glad to post this live version of the band's biggest hit - Girls & Boys, from their 2002 album The Young and the Hopeless - rather than the official video, which is unavailable for a reason I'm already tired of bitching about.

Good Charlotte was one of a cadre of bands who rose to prominence in the early years of the 21st Century, among them the band's mentors Lit and Blink-182; in the brothers Madden's case, their rise was accompanied by their well-photographed flirtations with such tabloid show-offs as that blonde one (for Benji), as well as Hilary Duff and babymama Nicole Richie for Joel.
