"Adrienne" is the second single from American rock band the Calling's debut album, Camino Palmero (2001). When Aaron Kamin and Alex Band wrote the song, they both had girls in mind, but according to the band, they changed the name in the song to "Adrienne" because they did not want to get sued.^[1] Released on April 15, 2002, "Adrienne" reached number 16 on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 and was a minor hit in Europe and Australia.

Music video

In the music video, the Calling perform outside while a group of people stand in line taking turns "singing" a duet with Alex Band. At the end of the video, a girl goes up and falls, and everyone else in line falls like dominoes.
