Props to Nickelback for spoofing their own “Photograph” for a Google Photos commercial

Nickelback has endured an unfair amount of abuse (in my opinion, anyway) but at least they have a sense of humour about it.

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh

Must have shot a million more
Of my dessert but I don’t know what for

Every time I do it makes me laugh

Every time I do it makes me…
