Monster Hospital

"Monster Hospital" is a song by Canadian rock band Metric from their second album, Live It Out. It is the album's first single, followed by "Poster of a Girl".

The song makes reference to Bobby Fuller and the chorus tributes his hit song I Fought the Law replacing "Law" with "War". It also contains a reference to Daddy Warbucks from Annie. They performed the song live at the MuchMusic Video Awards in 2006, which ended with a "stage jump" by lead singer Emily Haines where she jumped into the crowd on Queen Street in Toronto.

During the announcement of the Sony PlayStation 4, the MSTRKRFT remix of the song was played in the opening video.

The song appears to refer to the political stance taken by the band in their earlier years, clearly stated by use of anti-war imagery in their music videos, during a time of rising military action. In recent years Emily has stated the song is about post traumatic stress disorder.

"Monster Hospital" was selected as NME Track of the Week and also featured at number 12 on NME Tracks of 2006.
