Goodwin's TheoryLinks with lyrics and visuals
The lyrics criticise artists who perform/ create music for money and fame rather than for the fun of it. It's sort of a battle-cry. They're shown with paparazzi - celebritys. They record in a hip-hop studio - very out-of-character for the band, Patrick Stump makes unusual hand movements whilst singing - the hip-hop artists laugh at him. Joe Trohman knocks alcohol out of someones hand and the ban get thrown out - tabloids show they've been beaten up. The band make a mess in a hotel room throwing a massive party. Pete dies in the video and at his funeral several other fob music videos are referenced - Dance, Dance - Grand Theft Autumn - Sugar, We're Going Down - 'A Little Less Sixteen Candles...' - they also reference Slash in the 'November Rain' video when Joe performs a guitar solo on top of Pete's coffin. They have guest appearances such as one of their close friends, Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, William Beckett from 'The Academy Is..', Seth Green and Michelle Trachtenberg
