"I Don't Remember" is a song by Australian alternative rock band
Powderfinger, from the album Dream Days at the Hotel Existence. It made
its radio debut on 9 July 2007 on Australian radio stations, and was
subsequently released as a single and digital download on 4 August 2007
in Australia, 3 September 2007 in New Zealand, and 13 August 2007 in
the United States. The song was written by Powderfinger lead singer
Bernard Fanning, and influenced by bassist John Collins. The riff was
then developed by guitarist Ian Haug. The song is about reconciling
difficulties and arguments, rather than shifting the blame. "I Don't
Remember" was lauded by some reviewers, who appreciated its energy,
while other reviewers were more critical, dubbing it an "advertisement
song". The music video also received critical acclaim, especially for
the parodies it contained. Despite the reviews, the single charted
poorly, reaching number 42 on the ARIA Singles Chart.

Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds
