Fall Out Boy

#

Started by Mully in General Therapy? Topics

Found this while reading the NY Times Online. Sounds familiar, hey …

In the wake of Green Day, the year’s new punk-pop sensation was Fall Out Boy, which sold 1.65 million copies. The band has a sense of humor as snappy as its melodies, with song titles like “Champagne for My Real Friends, Real Pain for My Sham Friends.” But the perspective of its songs is proudly myopic and self-absorbed, as the songs concentrate almost completely on gripes about girl trouble and the music business.

This thread, I think, should be in the ‘bands’ section, am I right?

“Champagne for My Real Friends, Real Pain for My Sham Friends.” was used as a Therapy? lyric (This One’s For You off Shameless)

But it is originally a quote - I can’t remember where from.

I think it was CtlAltDelete that has that tattooed on his arm in a really cool type-font. I’m sure a pic has been posted in another thread, along with the origins of the quote.

Mully was pointing out that the song title also features in T?’s lyrics so I left it as T? related.

Title: A band has copied Therapy? (merged)

Yes, Fall out Boy have copied T?. They have a song called “Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends”, yet, this is a lyric in “This one’s for you” on Shameless…

Opinions…

Walk through Darkness sounds like Titanic (the demo of lonely cryin´ only)

Deluded son sounds a bit like straight life.

The line was used in an Edward Norton film about 3 years ago, can’t remember the name of it, something like 13th hour (directed by Spike Lee). It’s been around for a while, anyway.

My friend had it as her MSN screename for a while, she’s not a T? fan and it was before Fall Out Boy were even heard of. Halcyun days.
