10 Essential Classic Fall Out Boy Songs
4. I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1OTsd9u0WoIf you're into more hard rock and heavy metal, this will be the most accessible track for you. I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me is probably the heaviest song released by the band to date. With alt-metal guitars, guttural vocal delivery and some classic Pete Wentz screamo thrown in (with featured vocalist Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory), it jumps out in the middle of From Under The Cork Tree as a harsh but welcome change in mood and attitude.
Beginning quietly with delicate, almost ominous vocals from Stump, the song quickly kicks in with hectic guitar riffs and amplified lyrical delivery addressing a groupie from the musician's point of view. The chorus is absolutely phenomenal, offering listeners a repeatable phrase to recite with a catchy melody. The breakdown of Stump and Gilbert screaming a repeated pair of phrases hasn't aged as well as the rest of the track, but it fits well with the tone of the song and is great fun live.
Harking back to the band's early hardcore sensibilities, I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy is sure to convert any naysayer to a fan in just three and a half minutes.
