"Paralyzer" is a song performed by the Canadian rock band Finger Eleven. It is also a minor meme on the SiIvaGunner channel.
History[]
"Paralyzer" is the first single from Finger Eleven's fourth album, Them vs. You vs. Me, which was released in March 2007. Finger Eleven's frontman Scott Anderson has said that the single has a feel distinct from the rest of Finger Eleven's music, possessing more of a funk rock or dance-rock sound. However, the song has also been characterized as alternative rock. The song received high airplay in both the United States and Canada, and has surpassed "One Thing" to be Finger Eleven's most successful single.
The song is well known in certain internet circles due to its frequent usage in early YouTube videos. Its recurring presence on the platform has been subject to parody, and is widely associated with older low effort videos on the website. In March 2019, the song increased in popularity due to the Quagmire Toilet meme.

It was then re-introduced in the King for a Day Tournament, used as a source for Unregistered HyperCam 2, referencing its use in YouTube videos from the 2005-2009 era, and was frequently used during the Unregistered HyperCam 2 Takeover. Since then, the song has occasionally appeared in more rips, mostly during Season 4 Episode 2.
