Evenesence, Evanessence, Evanesence featuring Paul McCoy, Evanesence, Evanescence ft. Paul McoyBand Name Origins:
- Guitarist Ben Moody found the word. He suggested it as a name, saying that it was exactly how most bands out there are, being there and popular one minute and nothing the next. Apparently he didn't think they'd last, but the name stuck, and...they're still here! Submitted by: trinsa
- The dictionary. Ben Moody (former guitarist) started looking in the E's 'cause he thought they could do some cool art with that and they found Evanescence-to disappate like vapor. Amy Lee (lead singer) says "it makes you think of a ghost". Submitted by: Ellie

Though the parody was written about a specific situation, it does apply to dorks all over the internet who think that being rude is being cool, when in reality they are the ones who are pittied.

"Call Before Hang-Overs" by Below Average Dave
a parody of "Call Me When You're Sober" by Evanescence
Written on a day when I was in an 'Evanescence' mood so to speak. . .I wrote several parodies of Evanescence songs that day, and this one was the most important message of the four, though I may record the others in the not so distant future. Remember, Don't Drink & Drive---Everyone loses when you do. Special thanks to http://www.karaoke-version.com/en/ for their permission to use their backing tracks for my songs. .

Actually, Below Average Dave performed it, but this one is one of Rex's classics, and I (Below Average Dave) wanted to make sure it appeared under his name, Special Thanks to karaoke-version.com/en/ for granting permission on the track.
