I'm Falling For Fall Out Boy...

Seriously. As much as I hate to admit it, mainly because Pete Wentz creeps me out, I am starting to like them. They're actually not as bad as a lot of people (aka GSBians) say they are. Even though Pete Wentz is unnatural.

When Sugar We're Goin' Down came out in 2005, I liked it. I had to look up the lyrics because I couldn't understand most of them, but it was a catchy song. It is a catchy song. And I am not ashamed to admit that I like it. *cough* I became morbidly obsessed with it for a week. My enthusiasm for that song has toned down to a normal, healthy level since then.

Now here comes the part I hate. Because it involves deja vu. I freaking hate deja vu. I heard This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race somewhere, but I can't remember where. I remember I thought it might have been some unknown-to-me Audioslavish band. And when they broke into the chorus it sounded more My Chemical Romancey. So I was confused. Only I can't remember where it was I heard it. Probably on the radio or at the mall.

Anyhoo, yesterday, after a stressful few hours listening to my teachers argue with a she-beast (PM me for details) and eating chips for lunch while looking at Green Day pictures with my friend, I came home, utterly exhausted. So I turned on the TV, because I like to escape from reality. I put on VH1, because that's the only decent music channel here that plays English and European music.

MCR was on. I like MCR. So I was waitin' for the next video and I saw Pete Wentz on the TV screen. I had a heart attack and was about to change the channel, but for some weird twist-of-fate reason, I didn't. I kept it there. *gasp*

The little thingy at the bottom of the screen said "Fall Out Boy/This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race". I thought it was an interesting title and I liked the cardboard people so I watched. And this weird bubble-ish sound started. And then Patrick started going "I am an arms dealer..." and I bolted up straight cuz I'd heard that somewhere before. I heard the entire first verse. And the bridge. And the chorus. And I was like O_O OMFG.

I was as smitten with the song this time as I was the first, wherever it was that I'd heard it. Plus, I know I've heard the phrase "painting your trash gold" somewhere and I'm more sure than ever I heard it on Worldspace. And since yesterday, I listened to the song like 234345326564635 times on Youtube.

So there ya have it. I like Fall Out Boy. I LIKE THEM. Especially the drummer. There's something nice about his hair and glasses. *cough* And I continue to maintain that ol' Petey is Devilspawn. But Patrick has this odd vibe in his voice that's...irresistable, even though he needs to encunciate.

Now, I am going to scour Youtube for more of their songs and continue to like them so hardy hardy har.
