FAIL Out Boy

Fuck Fall Out Boy. Srsly, fuck them. Fall Out Boy, when yr old(er) and fucken burnt out and fucked up and shit, I hope you google yourselves and somehow find this. Remember, get fucked. Get fucked, alot. And I don't mean "get laid". That would be a blessing, not a curse. I mean GO AND GET FUCKED YOU ASSHOLES.

...

What, you may ask, the hell are you on about, drinks-after-worker? Ok, let's do this in bullet-points:

  • I love David Bowie. A lot.
  • I hate your band.
  • I love David Bowie's album Station To Station.
  • In the opening, title track on Station To Station there's a lyric which goes It's not the side-effects of the cocaine / I'm thinking that it must be love.
  • Fall Out Boy -- your band, whom I hate (above) (I mean, they're so bad it's comical) released an album (or was it an EP? Who fucken cares) in 2004 called My Heart Will Always Be The B-Side To My Tongue. Stupid, stupid name. It gets worse (what, you hadn't guessed?)
  • On MHWABTBSTMY there is a song called It's Not A Side Effect Of The Cocaine. I Am Thinking It Must Be Love.

I don't really need to go on, do I?

Here is a "fan video" for the song, which is insipid crap (the song, not the video.) (Although the video is not shit hot either.)



This is much better. It's a (seemingly impromptu) a capella rendition of the section of Station To Station that is in question:



I've heard that if you so desire, you can download a copy of the Fall Out Boy release here: I appreciate comments left! DO NOT STEAL MY LINKS D: \

FAIL Out Boy, if you read this: Fuck You! Also don't forget to GO AND GET FUCKED YOU ASSHOLES.

Ta to Robyn for inspiration.

Eh? Fall Out Boy? Who gives a fuck about Fall Out Boy?! Why do you even know who they are? I've been listening to 'Low' by DAVID BOWIE today and I think it's still my favourite of his...

Robyn said...

This is your way of telling us that you're secretly hot for Pete from Fall Out Boy, right?

s. said...

@Robyn, which one's Pete? Is he hot?

Robyn said...

Pete is the bass player and the sole hot one in the band. The rest of the band are kinda scruffy and nerdy.

He's the oldest and he writes most of the song lyrics ("HAY GUYZ I ROTE SOME POEMS IN MAI NOTEBUK"), and I think he'd be the Bowie-stealing thief.

Here are some totally NSFW pics of him.

soooo.... i'm sensing that nu-punk doesn't turn your wheels.

Erm, since when has nerdy not been hot?!

Is that nu-punk? I feel sorry for punk, then.

Let this post/page stand as a testament to the FACT (my emphasis) that if you're gonna steal lyrics from cult pop-heroes, you have to be a little more clever about it.

So yes, that means that if you're stupid, you can't be po-mo. (Wait, I may be on to something there). Unfortunately the rule does not apply in reverse.

Pete is classically hot, in the way that gets him on the cover of Seventeen magazine with his tips on eyeliner application and hair-straightening.

The rest of the band are hot in the way that actual nerdy music guys are. They kind of remind me of some of the nerdy guys from my high school (though without the advantage of being from Hamilton).

I inadvertently read in a magazine that he spent $3000 USD on an aircraft carrier for his GI Joe collection and he still lives with his mum. THAT'S nerd right there.

There is nothing at all punk about Fall Out Boy.
