Normally, Fall Out Boy don’t get discussed much around these parts, as Pete Wentz and company are slated slightly below Tokio Hotel in our blogging priorities. But Elvis Costello, we love that dude. Apparently, the legendary performer is featured on the third single from Fall Out Boy’s upcoming Folie a Deux, “What A Catch, Donnie,” singing a few lines from Fall Out Boy’s first Folie single, “Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet,” so here’s a Fall Out Boy story.
Apparently, the song features a few guests doing vocal melodies of the band’s older songs as a way to… self-reference I guess. Elvis does a few lines around the 3-minute mark of this video, and less cool vocalists (like Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, William Beckett of The Academy Is…, Brendon Urie of Panic at the Disco, and Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship) are also on the track near the end. Elvis’ contribution is head scratching, none the least for the fact that he’s helping out Fall Out Boy, but that he sings lines from a song that appears earlier on the album.
In case you’re interested, Folie A Deux is out on 12/16. [Stereogum]
its BRENDON Urie.
Jesus, learn to get their names right if you're going to do an article about it.
