[HannahNotDrowning]

MISS U FOB! From Under the Cork Tree DOMINATES my iPod

[TheMonica111111]

i love this song so old but good the best

[xcelpast]

NHL 06.

[JakeChesler]

this song is about chicks from my school

[flyingorangebanana]

honestly they have some of if not the best song names

[jakeo96]

what was the original name of the song

[LexixxKandixxKid]

@jakeo96 I liked you better before you were a MySpace whore

[ingskyli]

@jakeo96 "My Name is David Ruffin... and These are The Temptations"

[SoKissMe2]

Favorite Album :)



[NovaScotiaPride]

This is one of my all time favorite albums. <3 Miss you Fall Out Boy, wish you never "fell out" :(

[CheezyMoosen]

definitely NHL 06  :)

[iCoReYx]

NHL 06 anyone?

[riozakikorosaga]

how old is this song?



[JaymeLeighMabry]

I love how Patrick Stump is the singer but the one everyone knows is Pete Wentz.

[titanium53]

@JaymeLeighMabry Not to forget their main songwriter (musically).

[metallicmaiden409]

their best album ever <3

[metallicmaiden409]

their best album ever <3

[gingergiggles]

This shit never gets old <3

[Wittminator]

Am I the only one who prefers the live version from the AOL sessions?

[xamenities]

holy shit people are dumb, they didn't break up, they took a break.

[JuicyBEEB]

i love this song < 3

[ImBaqqBBY]

Back when they were good..

[FreeTooMuch]

4 people dont know good music.

[NiillaDiisco]

In my opinion, this was their best album. Not only did it have the catchiest songs, the funnest ones to rock out to, but the lyrics are genius. These guys are pretty much the modern version of Shakespeare. They know how to play with words.

[KittyMangaLove23]

@NiillaDiisco don't forget panic! at the disco. they are fuckin' genius with their lyrics

[DmonkeyD1994]

@NiillaDiisco yeah I honestly never knew why this band got such a bad rap

besides their name

[delaney12]

@NiillaDiisco agreed...great fucking album...thats all

[xxdj78]

did they rlly have to change the name of the song i rlly dont know

[flaselina]

why did they have to mutherfucking break up. >:[

[tainadodge5]

4 people dont have a fucking life. im a girl and this song is amazing

[MsFashionbug]

@tainadodge5 i apologize in advance for going off at you like this, but it has to be said: why does it matter that youre a girl? does likeing this band and being a girl make you special or something? these girls always act like theyre so incredibly different whenever they dont listen to katy perry and they feel like they deserve all of this extra attention for it. seriously? you just make us all look bad

[tainadodge5]

@MsFashionbug well im just saying. sooo... fuck off. thanks! :D

[MsFashionbug]

@tainadodge5 what a clever comeback! looks like you know im right too

[tainadodge5]

@MsFashionbug it wasnt clever and i know it im just more mature. OBVIOUSLY.

[MsFashionbug]

@tainadodge5 at what point did you say anything remotely mature? you forgot to mention youre a girl by the way, careful, you might not get enough attention

[tainadodge5]

@MsFashionbug well i guess ill have to be the more grown up one here. ill just stop replying because quite frankly i dnt have the time to just pay attention to a stupid ginger that has nothing better to do than just pick on people uv never met b4 so thanks 4 reading byeee :)

[MsFashionbug]

@tainadodge5 im not a ginger. good luck not answering this. its spelled "you've" "before" and "for" im sorry, i didnt realize you were mentally challenged. have fun not answering this. thanks for picture creeping by the way mighty mature one

[airbornee9110]

@DropkickTheDinosaur Fans like you are bad. Fans that don't give a fuck and love Fall Out Boy no matter what are good fans. Period.

[nushedfool]

@airbornee9110 how bout we listen and not be a troll.



[scottyjamesmusic]

dont believe all these made up, thumbs up grabbers. The actual first name for this song is, "My name is David Ruffin, and these are the Temptations."

David Ruffin was the lead of a vocal group "The Temptations." If you listen to the lyrics, there are alot of lines supporting what im saying.

"Brothers and sisters put this record down"

"We're only good cause you can have almost famous friends

Besides, we've got such good fashion sense"

would say more, outa characters remaining :P

beliv me

[1WEareBUFO1]

the song name used to be "i loved you before you were a myspace whore" they actually did have to change it

[pimpinazgirl]

My absolute fave albulm

[MedicDecive]

Best Album in my opinion.

[pimpinazgirl]

@MedicDecive hwell yeah!!!

[rockerchicified]

Hmm...I wonder what the name of the song was before... O_o

[Kazikam3]

@rockerchicified  "My Name is David Ruffin... and These are The Temptations"

[49ers1013]

NHL 06 had the best soundtrack ever with this, Bat Country by A7X and 4 Words to Choke Upon by BFMV

[agentman6]

@49ers1013 I LOVED that game. Still my favorite NHL game to date, even with the improvements the new ones have made.

[XxxVioletGrayxxX]

i'm in love with this album <3 <3 and pete

[MrBlonde221]

My lawyer made me change my unoriginal comment so I wouldn't get sued

[lovethemcrazyasshoes]

@MrBlonde221

so you just put in another unoriginal one?

[DistortedResonance]

wow... I miss F.O.B.. ://

[playa871]

Looking up old music in NHL Games, lots of memories...

[AStaticCharacter]

I really don't like fallout boy (mainly the new stuff), but I fuckin' love this song. It's got an edginess to it, and it brings back some good memories with it. I wish they'd put out a whole album like this.

[BotchStoleMyRamenDX]

@bullymaster666 That doesn't even make sense.

[Jmen3425]

best song title ever

[darbdarbdarbdarb]

my favorite FOB song :))

[Yamibas]

BEST ALBUM THEY MADE. I love the old FOB but the new one well.... :(

[softlyserenademe]

omg I bought this cd 6 years ago. I feel so old. I still have it and play it frequently in my car.

[CAPShockeyxx12]

3 people didnt change their like so they got sued

[haircutbob2]

@CAPShockeyxx12 Fuck off.

[CAPShockeyxx12]

@haircutbob2 shutup and stop trying to start a fight with people u dont know u no life

[haircutbob2]

@CAPShockeyxx12 Those comments are so fucking annoying. Especially when they are not even remotely funny. Be original.

[CAPShockeyxx12]

@haircutbob2 lol that wuz the first 1 i ever did no joke hahaha

[haircutbob2]

@CAPShockeyxx12 I'll let it slide. But don't let it happen again! haha

[CAPShockeyxx12]

@haircutbob2 k lol

[tris0h0h7]

love the bass solo at 1:12

[Gematria009]

@tris0h0h7 That's not even a bass solo. lol

[cherrypitxsweetheart]

I haven't listed to this song in so long. It brings back so many memories. <3

[Kerrbear1234567890]

What was the name of the song before they changed it? "Lars Ulrich"?

[weaknesscomespainful]

@Kerrbear1234567890 It has been reported that the song was originally called "My Name is David Ruffin... and These are The Temptations" before Fall Out Boy's lawyers intervened and made them change the title.

[drea1182010]

duhhh its not,but i luv the name.....stop being the music police,if u like u do,if u dont u ...hummm...dont......so calm dwn n fmah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ha i only say the fmah cz the coolest boy says it n its hilarious..........yo

[SpiderQueen971]

The simple fact that Fall Out Boy is AWESOME brought me here.

[sammiwyatt]

I cannot believe this album will be 6 years old in May.

[ceciestmoncorps]

@sammiwyatt it's timeless

[PrinceofAntarctica]

the only song by Fallout Boy I like. Of course the one with the really long name.

[mandymileyfan13]

this song sucks...

[emobloomsilver13]

i LOVE the title!!

[Momentaii]

Stick it brought me here.

[christinepattinson]

the only reason i listened to this song is cause my friend likes it. i love this song now!!!

[voldemortisrad1111]

@christinepattinson same here! lol....<3 this song!

[Pandora2022]

Lol reading the comments are funny. The original name of this song was "My Name Is David Ruffin, And We Are The Temtations"...Since David Ruffin killed himself and that is a HUGE legal thing FOB would have to deal with I imagine their lawyer did make them change the name of this song xD

[lovefool49]

It's Christmaaaaaaaas =)

[ChazzyDaFrog]

the song was first callled b***h

[SethandEmmett]

i heard this song was originally called "stevenson girls are easy" and talking about how the girls at stevenson only wanted to be FOB's friends because they're almost famous (we're only good because you can have almost famous friends)

[KrazyKate28]

@SethandEmmett haha! that would be hilarious if thats rly the original name, i live by where fob started and stevenson is one of the high schools right by here

[sethcenterbar]

i thought it was "I loved you before you were a myspace whore"

[rikkyboy2012]

@sethcenterbar yes,it was, but then their lawyer made them change the name of this song, so they wouldn't get sued :P

[PeterPuck4]

aweosme name for a song!

[staplergirlee1]

@MrDonkeydong155 it's also rumored to have been 'stevenson girls are easy' (i go to stevenson and FOB went to a school near us and when they visited they wrote this song after)

[a1t2y3]

most funniest name EVEEEER !!!!! ♥

[Sk8ergirl1241]

lol. my favorite FOB song by far

[TheDinoist]

This is from the movie STICK IT!!!!

I've been searching for this for so long!!!

I ♥ FOB!!!

[ThatGuyWithTheEyes]

@TheDinoist That's totally how I found out this was even FOB since in the movie there aren't words... I love that movie to death and that part was always one of my favorites because of this song.

[TheDinoist]

@ThatGuyWithTheEyes I totally agree!!! =)

[blackbone88]

ive got almost friends

[PhantomKing88]

i wonder what the original name of the song was

[MrDonkeydong155]

I think that song just rode the coat tails of Grand Theft Autumn. Listen to the two songs and compare. Grand Theft Autumn was succesful and was a single, so this song was a bit of an identikit. Still, FOB rule - AND NOTHIN' GUNNA' CHANGE DAT SHIT!

[tibta4tibta]

what the hell was the name before or was it just the original song name.

[sirlewis]

@tibta4tibta "my Name Is David Ruffin and These Are the Temptations" was the original name of the song.

[tibta4tibta]

@sirlewis haha thanks man.

[EppicPhail]

@sirlewis I thought the name was "I loved you before you were a myspace whore"?

[MrDonkeydong155]

@EppicPhail No, it actually was "My Name Is David Ruffin...", but then it was they changed it to "Our Lawyer..." because their lawyer warned them that they might get sued by David Ruffin himself. "Myspace whore" I'm pretty sure is a different song altogether...

[nashrox61]

nhl 06 had the best soundtrack. evar.

[benderhockey01]

@nashrox61 so true man it was a great game back then too but if u look at the graphics now its a joke

[weallpanicatthedisco]

this was sung by my chemical romance before...Fall out boy just sung it

[APRICOTSMOOTHIE]

WE'RE OOONLY LIOONS

BUT WE'RE THE BEEEST

[UNd34DxG33k]

@APRICOTSMOOTHIE liars. having lulz @ ur epic failure. :D

[APRICOTSMOOTHIE]

@UNd34DxG33k dude I know it's liars. I was making a joke.

[michiganstudios]

@APRICOTSMOOTHIE (liars)

[APRICOTSMOOTHIE]

@michiganstudios i know it's liars, i was making a joke ._.

[rockfan448]

damn fall out boy titles.....I LOVE EM!

[michiganstudios]

i played NHL 06 for this song :)

[tweekert]

@michiganstudios same!!!

[joejonasluverM17]

Best song by them EVER!

[agentman6]

This was the only song I had on for my NHL 06 menu theme.

[paulwallbaybay]

good memories. NHL 06

[ivey222]

@paulwallbaybay great game

[jfriar12]

@paulwallbaybay totally remember that game and this song in there

[KeybladeWielder6584]

OMFG, 2006 all over again. :)

[MsBillieJoe101]

long title

[kelseymp09]

the line "We will leave you high and dry, it's not worth the hearing you"ll lose" and lines from their other songs make me think when they started the band they planned everything. even the hiatus. and i'd assume a huge comeback, also

[Zachdudeio2]

investigate 911

[bellagio163]

The original title was "My Name Is David Ruffin And These Are The Temptations," a reference to how Ruffin tried to change the Temptations' name to "David Ruffin and The Temptations," which Motown had done with "Diana Ross and The Supremes." Ruffin overestimated his popularity and was fired from the group in 1968. Ruffin died of a cocaine overdose in 1991. if Fall Out Boy kept the original title, they would have risked a lawsuit from Ruffin's estate.

[EppicPhail]

@bellagio163 I thought it was I loved you before you were a myspace whore or something like that.

[mowguy12]

the origal name for this song was "steveson girls are easy"

[seemerawrimadinosaur]

@mowguy12 true.

[TheCirnoFairyOfDeath]

@mowguy12 *in lex luther voice* WRONG!!!

[PhantomKing88]

i wonder what was the original name for the song XD

[msctfxcandmessi]

This song is addicting

[Kookie1881]

lolz! all the names of there songs are so long!!! <<3 fallout boy!

[555666nate666555]

epic failure

[chokoyHW]

this is and take this to your grave are their best album!!! since infinity on high and folie deux was released :(

[brett45g]

The alternative rock band Fall Out Boy originally named the first track on the album From Under The Cork Tree "My Name is David Ruffin... and These are The Temptations", before legal disputes caused them to aptly change it to "Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued".

[KimeyBunny]

Love it x3

Do not open before christmas lol

FOB da best band ever x3

[AceofDlamonds]

This song is great lol

[cutie061]

this song is so great. fun to listen to when your excited or really agrivated.

[macdoman1996]

NHL 06

[akayounglad]

haha i just saw that movie about the temptations

[nevershoutcaitlynCD]

i love this song but why does the title have to be so long????

[AceOfAmerica]

@nevershoutcaitlynCD <_<

[SaneLunacy]

The original title was "My Name Is David Ruffin And These Are The Temptations".

Referring to the band "The Temptations", and how one of the singers was very cocky and wanted to change the name to "David Ruffin and The Temptations".

He was later fired from the band.

[Sierraistheshit]

@SaneLunacy Thank you! I know a bit about the temptations so this makes sense to me

[shadogal95]

@SaneLunacy really? I've heard sooo many thought as to what it was. Like some people said that this was the original name, and somebody else said that it was "I liked you better before you became a myspace whore", I don't know what to think. lol

[SaneLunacy]

@shadogal95 Well I got that story from a bunch of legit internet sites.

[annahforever]

Ashlee Simpson is the new Yoko. FOB and T he Beatles forever. Both coming to an end too soon due to stupid wives.

[SaneLunacy]

@annahforever Yoko Ono didn't break up the Beatles. If anyone broke them up it was John Lennon.

[seemerawrimadinosaur]

not all girls from Stevenson are skanks, you stereotypical douche.

[jogologo94]

@Ventus516 there first album was evening out with your girlfriend or if you wanna get technical Take This To Your Grave

[kwervo1206]

patrick iz soo...hot

[XxMutantDragonXx]

It was gonna be called My Name is David Ruffin and These Are The Temptations. (patrick said it once in an interview...)

The myspace one was a different one... They did it live though, I think

[MarcoLPooperman]

@XxMutantDragonXx

i think the myspace one was another name for i slept with someone...

[2cutedogs4ever]

my friend showed me this song and i wanted to know the name for so long. finally i found itt :) im so happy. now i can actually get it for my ipod.

[luukraver]

by far their best song

[RazmatazMusic]

@luukraver fall out boys first album was evening out with your girlfriend, and the one after that was take this to your grave. From under the cork tree was their third

[Nick24Abuel]

[PinkFloyd312]

FALL OUT BOY 4EVA BITCHES!!!!!!!!

[Mshalo100]

[carrotman92]

really? oh, i was always wondering. Thanks !

[Alkalies]

I don't like Fall Out Boy, but I must admit this song is great.

[Ventus516]

Fall Out Boy is great in my opinion but you have a different one. and yep this is an original song from their first album. Its Pretty freaking great

[petewentzismydream]

@Ventus516 its not from their first album

[iAv3s]

@Ventus516 This is their 3rd album. The first two were "Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girlfriend" and "Take This To Your Grave". "From Under The Cork Tree" was their major label debut.

[oheyrachael]

@Ventus516 this isn't their first album rofl.

[xioxio38]

@Ventus516 This is from "Under The Cork Tree", Silly. Their first LP was  "Evening out with your girlfriend"

and first EP was "Split EP" and first album was "Take This To Your Grave". Failure. That is just my memories.

[OneRequiem123]

@Ventus516 This was on evening out with your girlfriend???

[pgrcool]

@Ventus516 it's not their first album...
