"This Afternoon" is the eighth and final single from rock band Nickelback's sixth studio album Dark Horse, released on March 23, 2010.
The music video for the song was released on May 4 and was directed by Nigel ****.[4]
In the video, a fraternity of college geeks throws a huge party to "prove to the world that the nerd brigade knows how to rock". One member is tasked with getting lots of beer; another is assigned to find hot women to attend the party. Then another member arrives after having kidnapped Nickelback to play at the party; the fraternity leader however remarks "... Nickelback? You got me Nickelback?! ... Alright, fine, they'll do." The party then proceeds as Nickelback are forced by 2 football players, after the leader says, "Boys, get 'Em in there!" to play their song.
The video for "This Afternoon" was first shown on the Fuse website and can now be seen as their 'Video Of The Day' for 1 May 2010.
The song contains strong lyrical content suggestive of cannabis use and production, including an allusion to Bob Marley as well as Cheech and Chong.
During the week of June 4, 2010, the video debuted on CMT's Top Twenty Countdown at number 18.
