Quotes:

Joe’s famous words about touring with Arma (one of Pete’s bands before FOB) at age sixteen: "I definitely got initiated on teat tour—they would rip my underwear off me every day. I hated it, dude. I should have stopped wearing underwear." And another memorable line when Joe bought a $4,495 guitar over an $18,000 one: " ‘I’m gonna feel guilty about this for a while,’ he says, looking not at all guilty. ‘It’s the Jew in me—like, ‘Oh, no, you spent money!’ " "I hear all sorts of things slung at us. One of my favorites being the boy-band accusation. I’m like, ‘Boy band? I’m fat! If we were a boy band, I’d look good, I’d dance and I’d be charming—so what the fuck are you talking about?’" - Patrick Stump

Jokes:

I heard that Fall Out Boy fell out of the sky and all performers were boys, so that's why it's called Fall Out Boy.

Band Name Origins:

  • I just need to clear this up. When they decided on the name, it was not because they were "The Simpsons" obsessive. They did not know about the Millhouse thing. At their second show, a fan shouted it out. They then kept the name. The fan most likely did get his idea from the Simpsons though. Submitted by: Kelsey
  • It was shouted to them at their second show after they asked the crowd what their name should be. They didn't know it had anything to do with The Simpsons, and the guy wasn't drunk. Submitted by: Jessi

Stupid Band Names:

  • The name implies an individual male performer, but it's a band (MORE than one person). And why "fall out"? They must've had warped minds. Submitted by: Kareem Abdul-Montana
  • Um... hello? What are they falling out of? A window? A car? Why don't they just put their seat belt on!!! Submitted by: katelyn

"One Tree Hill"Yeah, One Tree Hill isn't a movie, I know. But Pete wasn't half-bad. Patrick got maybe 2 lines the whole 3 or 4 episodes. I don't even remember Joe or Andy getting any lines, they just performed. So I guess they must really suck at acting. - Felicia

"I Slept With Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me"Lyrics include "It's so fitting, so fitting of the way you are / You can't cover it up, can't cover it up! / So douse yourself in cheap perfume" and "Someone old / No one new / Feeling borrowed / Always blue", but never anything about sleeping with a Fall Out Boy member - Kerry
"Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?"They say quitters never win
But we walk the plank on a sinking ship
There's a world outside of my front door
That gets off on being down - Jonathan S.
"Pavlove"I'm the invisible man
Who can't stop staring at the mirror, at the mirror
I want to make you as lonely as me
So you can get, get addicted to this
You can get, get addicted to this now - Jonathan S.
"A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me""I'm sleeping on your folk's porch again, dreaming
She said, she said, she said, "Why don't you just drop dead?"
I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
So say, what are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late - Jonathan S.
"(Coffee's For Closers)"I will never believe in anything again
I will never believe in anything again
Change will come, oh, change will come
I will never believe in anything again

a parody of "Thnks Fr th Mmrs" by Fall Out Boy
Like my other Fall Out Boy parody, this one in it's first form was just a little too much, and it really need a redo. I'm getting emails, texts, et al about when I'm releasing some new stuff. I will get back to it, but right now I'm looking through my old collection and seeing lots of songs that never really were given good attention by me, or are missing from my archive here and I'm getting them finished before getting back in the water.

a parody of "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" by Fall Out Boy
While chub parodies for me are probably my top kind, this one was special. Unfortunately the original recording was unbearable. It's a difficult song, but I figured I should do it in my range not Fall Out Boy's. Fun song.

Song Parody Fragments:

"Sugar We're Going Down"
Better Lyrics:
It's looking brown, brown so I'm flushing it down.
And Sugar, it's going down spinning.
I took a number one in the toilet;
And then I took a dump and nearly destroyed it.
Original Lyrics:
We're going down, down in an earlier round.
And Sugar, we're going down swinging.
I'll be your number one with a bullet;
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:

"Sugar, We're Goin' Down"
The Lyrics:
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
Why:
Horribly mixed metaphor. The first two lines draw a boxing parallel ("goin' down swinging"), but then "number one with a bullet" compares the narrator to a hit song ("bullet" being the dot that chart listings put next to a fast-rising song). But then, to confuse things ever further, the narrator (sort of) refers to the other meaning of "bullet," and likens the relationship to some kind of bizarre combination of metaphysics and firearms. But I like the song anyway.

Song Lawsuits:

"Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song..."
In actual fact, although Fall Out Boy did have a song originally going by the title "I Liked You A Whole Lot Better Before You Became A F***ing MySpace Whore", this one had originally been titled "My Name Is David Ruffin And These Are My Temptations". A clever play on words of course, but courting legal disaster (no pun intended) with the classic Motown vocal group.

okay so the original title of this song was "i liked you much better before you became a myspace whore" but when they went to record their lawyers saild that the song was offensive or that they couldn't mention myspace or something gay like that and so they decided to change it to "our lawyers made us change the name of this song so we wouldn't get sued"
