"Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make Up Is Running)" by Foo Fighters

Named after UFO images spotted by World War II pilots, the Foo Fighters gave Dave Grohl and second chance at the rock and roll life after the tragic suicide of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain. Grohl quickly proved he was much more than a drummer, picking up songwriting, guitar, and vocal duties for the Foo Fighters. The first album was virtually a one man band effort. The debut album was a success and spawned two top 40 hits in 1995-6, "This Is The Call" (#35) and "Big Me" (#13).

The band has continued to achieve remarkable success since the 90s, but has only landed 3 additional top 40 hits with "Learn To Fly" (#19), "Best Of You" (#18), and "The Pretender" (#37). They've had plenty of other singles break the top 100, including my favorite, "Long Road To Ruin," which topped out at #89 in 2008. How that didn't go top 10 is beyond me.

"Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make Up Is Running)" is taken from the same album as "Ruin" - "Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace," which went to #3 on the Top 200 albums. This was the third single from the record and should have become another charting hit for the band.
