This is such a banger, sounding especially good after quite a few slow songs. Great MJ re-working (as well as 'Somebody's Watching Me' :heart:)

Biography

Fall Out Boy is an American rock band formed in Wilmette, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago in 2001. The band consists of vocalist/guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Pete Wentz, guitarist Joe Trohman, and drummer Andy Hurley. The band originated from Chicago's hardcore punk scene, with which Wentz was heavily involved. The group was formed by Wentz and Trohman as a pop punk side project of their respective hardcore bands, and Stump joined shortly thereafter. The group went through a succession of drummers before landing Hurley and recording their debut album, Take This to Your Grave (2003), which became an underground success and helped the band gain a dedicated fanbase through heavy touring, as well as some moderate commercial success.

 

With Wentz as the band's lyricist and Stump as the primary composer, the band's 2005 major-label breakthrough, From Under the Cork Tree, produced two hit singles, "Sugar, We're Goin Down" and "Dance, Dance", and went double platinum, transforming the group into superstars and making Wentz a celebrity and tabloid fixture. Fall Out Boy received a Best New Artist nomination at the 2006 Grammy Awards. Their 2007 follow-up, Infinity on High, landed at number one on the Billboard 200 with 260,000 first week sales. It produced several worldwide hit singles, "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" and "Thnks fr th Mmrs". Folie à Deux, the band's fourth album, created a mixed response from fans and commercially undersold expectations. Following the release of Believers Never Die - Greatest Hits, the band took a hiatus from 2009 to 2012 to "decompress", exploring various side projects. They regrouped and recorded Save Rock and Roll (2013), which gave the band their second career number one and produced the top 20 single "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)".

 

While Fall Out Boy's music has been typically described as pop punk and pop rock, the band were generally seen in the mid-2000s at the forefront of the "emo pop" explosion. Take This to Your Grave has often been cited as a vital blueprint for pop punk music in the 2000s. - Wikipedia

not my kinda music, but pretty catchy song
Hi_Tack with the underscore! Just what we need to bring a bit of life back. Fantastic quirky dance tune, I really do miss this style of dance.

I didn't realise you were such a fan of the underscore :o

Love a thread like this - I'm a huge chart can especially back in 2005/06 but when you listen to the countdown and hear artists like The Rifles, Keisha White etc entering you forget completely is great lol.
Fall Out Boy can release some good songs, but I'm not one for their older stuff.
Hi_Tack and Fall Out Boy are both real classics (though the former seems quite unappreciated these days </3), the sort of mid-00s dance and indie that was done right.
Wow who would have thought FOB would be still charting in 2016!
I was only 7 at the time so don't really recall any of these but Check On It is so good, gets a hard time but it's a lot of fun an so catchy. No-rap version all the way of course!

There are some extraordinary and there are some ordinary boys. This band sing though boys will be boys… if that has any sense…
