"How You Like Me Now" - The Heavy

David Letterman Appearance

The Heavy so impressed Letterman, he requested an encore. According to Wikipedia, it's the only time David Letterman has ever asked a band for an encore performance. The leader singer looks totally surprised and the band quickly catches up when Letterman urges to Go again, play a bit more....Yeah, yes sir.

Faster Soundtrack Questions & Comments

Feel Free to Leave Comments Here

On the Adtunes forum discussion about the Faster Movie Trailer one participant is saying one of the songs is Madcon-Beggin' which was also featured on the StepUp3D Soundtrack.

I can hear the confusion as the song sounds similar to the Faster Movie Theme Song "How You Like Me Now" by The Heavy. What do you think?

    Honestly the movie was pretty forgettable but the soundtrack was pretty awesome. Good job.
