Big Me
"Big Me" is the fourth single, released in 1996, by the Foo Fighters from their self titled debut album Foo Fighters. Its music video parodies the Mentos advertisements, making it a commercial for "Footos". This led to many fans throwing Mentos at the band whenever they played this live. For an extended period of time, the band never played the song live due to this, as Grohl cited: "We did stop playing that song for a while because, honestly, it's like being stoned. Those little ... things are like pebbles - they hurt" link. Yet after Weezer covered this song often during the 2005 Foozer tour, the band brought it back into their live lineup.
