"'''Disease'''" is the first single released from American [[rock music|rock]] band [[Matchbox Twenty]]'s third album, ''[[More Than You Think You Are]]''. The track was co-written by Matchbox Twenty lead singer [[Rob Thomas (musician)|Rob Thomas]] and [[The Rolling Stones|Rolling Stones]] frontman [[Mick Jagger]]. Released on September 30, 2002, the song peaked at number 29 on the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]]. "Disease" was one of two songs written by Thomas and presented to Jagger while he was producing his solo album ''[[Goddess in the Doorway]]'', alongside "[[Visions of Paradise (Mick Jagger song)|Visions of Paradise]]". Jagger returned "Disease" to Thomas, saying, "It sounds like you. It's your song."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160201203111/http://www.mtv.com/news/1458941/matchbox-twenty-wrestle-with-deer-mick-jaggers-needs-to-make-new-lp/ MATCHBOX TWENTY WRESTLE WITH DEER, MICK JAGGER'S NEEDS TO MAKE NEW LP]</ref>

"'''Disease'''" is the first [[single (music)|single]] from [[Matchbox Twenty]]'s third album, ''[[More Than You Think You Are]]''. It was co-written by Matchbox Twenty lead singer [[Rob Thomas (musician)|Rob Thomas]] and [[The Rolling Stones]] frontman [[Mick Jagger]]. It had some success on [[rock (music)|rock]] and [[alternative (music)|alternative]] charts, though&mdash;owing to its relatively [[hard rock]] sound&mdash;it was not as successful on mainstream pop charts as some of Matchbox Twenty's other singles (peaking at #29 on the [[Billboard Hot 100]]).


==Music video==
==Music video==
The video, directed by [[Phil Harder]], starts with a male child turning on his colorful [[beatbox]], then roller skating over a wide section of [[New York City]], with some images on billboards of 1st Rob, then later the whole band (albeit on separate billboards). At the 2nd chorus, we see the band performing in what appears ironically enough to be a disco hall, complete with ball. They are surrounded by a crowd dancing along, and to begin the 3rd chorus, Rob slides off the stage on all fours onto the dance floor past the crowd. At the end of the song, the roller skater shuts off his beat box and then proceeds up some stairs, presumably to his home.

"Disease" is the first single released from American rock band Matchbox Twenty's third album, More Than You Think You Are. The track was co-written by Matchbox Twenty lead singer Rob Thomas and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. Released on September 30, 2002, the song peaked at number 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100. "Disease" was one of two songs written by Thomas and presented to Jagger while he was producing his solo album Goddess in the Doorway, alongside "Visions of Paradise". Jagger returned "Disease" to Thomas, saying, "It sounds like you. It's your song."[1]

Music video

[edit]

The video, directed by Phil Harder, starts with a man turning on his colorful boomboxing, then roller skating over a wide section of New York City, amid images of the band illuminated on moving billboards. During the second chorus, we see the band performing in a large outdoor roller-rink, complete with a disco ball. They are surrounded by a crowd dancing along, and to begin the third chorus, Rob slides off the stage on all fours onto the dance floor past the crowd. At the end of the song, the roller skater shuts off his beat box and then proceeds up some stairs, presumably to his home.
