So I went to a deeelightful house party last night thrown in part by LJ buddy (and real life BFF) mandie. There were a lot of fun moments and it seems silly to rehash them all now, but I would like to give special attention to those little hot chicago properties Fallout Boy for a moment if I could.
Fallout Boy (Fall Out Boy?) have a song called 'this ain't a scene, it's an arms race' and it's ridiculous. pretty bad song, really. but incredibly catchy.
these are the lyrics
I am an arms dealer.
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words
And don't really care, which side wins
As long as the room keeps singing
That's just the business I'm in
This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race
I'm not a shoulder to cry on, but I digress
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
I wrote the gospel of giving up
(You look pretty sinking)
But the real bombshells have already sunk
(Pre-Madonnas of the gutter)
At night we're painting your trash gold while you sleep
Crashing not like hips or cars
No, more like p-p-p-parties
This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race

Bandwagon's full. Please, catch another
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
All the boys who the dance floor didn't love
And all the girls whose hips couldn't move fast enough
Sing until your lungs give out
This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race
This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race
(Now you)
This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race
(Wear out the groove)
This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race
(Sing out loud)
This ain't a scene, it’s a god damn arms race
(Oh, oh)
This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
I'm a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, oh so intricate
This, combined with an AMAZING v-cast mobile commercial below where the song is also featured, created sort of the perfect storm of drunken dancing/shouting.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfbtCJ57TmY While the song played, there was a huge sing-a-long to the chorus..well the whole thing really, but ESPECIALLY the chorus because it appears about 100 times as you can see, and there's nothing quite like shouting 'THIS AIN'T A SCENE. IT'S A GOD. DAMN. ARMS. RACE.' at the top of your lungs EXCEPT when you follow that up both before and after by befriending another dude in a hat and sharing the knowledge that the song, to echo the feelings of the workout bro in the v-cast commercial, GETS! YOU! PUUMPED!
Amazing.
Thank you fall out boy. fallout boy. ....Falloutboy.
