"Paralyzer" is a song performed by the Canadian rock band Finger Eleven. It is also a minor meme on the SiIvaGunner channel.

History

"Paralyzer" is the first single from Finger Eleven's fourth album, Them vs. You vs. Me, which was released in March 2007. Finger Eleven's frontman Scott Anderson has said that the single has a feel distinct from the rest of Finger Eleven's music, possessing more of a funk rock or dance-rock sound. However, the song has also been characterized as alternative rock. The song received high airplay in both the United States and Canada, and has surpassed "One Thing" to be Finger Eleven's most successful single.

The song is well known in certain internet circles due to its frequent usage in early YouTube videos. Its recurring presence on the platform has been subject to parody, and is widely associated with older low effort videos on the website. In March 2019, the song increased in popularity due to the Quagmire Toilet meme.

Rips

The song first appeared on the channel in "anouncement.wmv", which, as mentioned before, is a reference to its frequent usage in early YouTube videos. It was then re-introduced in the King for a Day Tournament, used as a source for Unregistered HyperCam 2, referencing its use in YouTube videos from the 2005-2009 era, and was frequently used during the Unregistered HyperCam 2 Takeover. Since then, the song has occasionally appeared in more rips, mostly during Season 4 Episode 2.

I hold on so nervously
To me and my drink
I wish it was cooling me
But so far has not been good
It's been shitty
And I feel awkward as I should

This club has got to be
The most pretentious thing
Since I thought you and me
Well, I am imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place

Well, I'm not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I wanna make you move
Because you're standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you

I hold out for one more drink
Before I think
I'm looking too desperately
But so far has not been fun
I should just stay home
If one thing really means one

This club will hopefully
Be closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me
Well, I'm still imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place

Well, I'm not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I wanna make you move
Because you're standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you

Well, I'm not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I wanna make you move
Because you're standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you

Well, I'm not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I wanna make you move
Because you're standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you

You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you

You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
