Forget to Remember

"Forget to Remember" is a song by American heavy metal band Mudvayne and the third single from their 2005 album Lost and Found. The song was featured in the film Saw II, which helped gain the band considerable mainstream popularity. It was also featured on 2006's MTV2 Headbanger Ball CD. There is an acoustic version of the song on By the People, for the People.

Music video
The music video begins with lead singer Chad Gray walking through a house when he hears a metallic clanging and turns around to investigate. He turns around again to find a pig-masked Amanda Young. The camera then fades out and Jigsaw's voice can then be heard saying: "I want to play a game." Gray then awakens to find himself along with the rest of the band in a bunker with a timer of 3 minutes and 30 seconds. The timer starts and the band begins to perform. The music video ends with the timer running out as the song concludes, supposably killing them.

In September 2005, the band met with film director Darren Lynn Bousman, whose film Saw II was in production and would feature this single. Bousman showed them the scene at the beginning the movie with police informant Michael cutting his own eye out of his skull to retrieve a key in order to free himself from a spike-filled mask locked around his neck. Gray told Bousman about the conversation at Bob's Big Boy two years earlier, and Bousman revealed that he holds his production meetings at the restaurant, and that Saw II had been based on a screenplay Bousman wrote years earlier. Gray appeared in a small role in the film, and Bousman directed the music video for "Forget to Remember", which featured clips from the film and performance footage shot on one of the film's sets.
