"Change (In the House of Flies)", often referred to as "Change", was the first single from American alternative metal band Deftones' third album White Pony, released in May 2000. It remains their most commercially successful single to date, peaking at number three in Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, number nine in the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart,[1] and at 53 in the UK Singles Chart.[2]
The song was used in the movies Queen of the Damned, Little Nicky and Cooler's Revenge. It was also used in an episode of the hit television show Alias (starring Jennifer Garner) and in the pilot episode of the short lived television show Wolf Lake. An acoustic version appears on the MTV The Return of the Rock, Vol. 2 compilation and was also included in their B-Sides & Rarities album.
The music video, directed by Liz Friedlander,[3] features the band playing at a party. The people attending the party wear animal masks and fade in and out throughout.
The song has been covered live by the band Breaking Benjamin with the assistance of Shaun Morgan of Seether as lead singer during the 2008 tour.
