Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Going Down
Published Monday, October 17, 2005 by Abby | E-mail this post
“I’m just a notch in your bedpost/ But you’re just a line in a song.”
Sometime a girl’s just got to get her emo on.
You know what I’m saying. The time for complex interpretations of your inner landscape has passed. Throw out the Broken Social Scene playlist, friends: now it’s time for your petulant inner teen to party. Toss that imaginary fringe! Belt it out at full angst-ridden volume! Leap into the pain, my dear – harness that anger for musical good!
Melodic and crazy cool, with enough riffs and raffs and slo-mo-guitar-leaps to put even Busted to shame. This is the good stuff. Let it sweep you along in adolescent post-break-up bliss; follow the etch-a-sketch outline right the way through layers and breakdowns and power chord greatness. And that chorus! Oh, the surge; my, the infectious exuberance!
Tell me you can resist this. Tell me you ain’t yelling along as he goes down, DOWN! Tell me… Mwahaha! You know you can’t. Another anti-emoist falls at the feet of angsting greatness. My work here is done.

Oh no. Please don't post Top 40 songs. It kills me. Give me more Robyn. That's what I want!
But it isn't top 40 over here! Besides... If I ruled out that stuff, out would go the Kelly and the Ashlee and the... etc

fall out boy are fabby, but dance,dance is a well better song, so if you like this go find it. other than that, i love poptext!woo!
When I first saw this video and the legion of kids requesting it, and especially the band's collective hairstyles, I REALLY wanted to hate it. But it wormed it's way into my head, and I really enjoy it now. I love it when someone's not afraid to post popular stuff they're digging. Why, if I had an mp3, I would totally post the new Sean Paul song. haha.
