Laid (song)
In the late 1990s and early 2000s the song gained some additional exposure and popularity when it was used as the theme song for the "American Pie" films starring Jason Biggs and Seann William Scott. A cover by Matt Nathanson was recorded exclusively for the third film, and was later included on the film's soundtrack. When performed by Matt Nathanson live he often creates a lot of banter over the vocals after the second verse, where he encourages the audience to sing along with him. The seventh installment in the franchise, "", contains a new cover of "Laid" by singer Aidan Hawken; as of 2012, it still has yet to be released on any album or as a single. The eighth and final film, "American Reunion", features the original version by James in the film for the first and only time in the series' history.
