For my top 100 song pick from 2005, I chose Fall Out Boy’s Sugar, We’re Going Down! While I was recording some songs today, I was watching VH1′s Top 100 Songs of the ’00s… which was hosted than none other than Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz! So I thought it was appropriate to include this song!
Sugar We’re Going Down (2005)
It’s funny, I never really understood the words to this song! I realized when I looked up the lyrics that I had the chorus completely wrong! I always thought it was, “We’re going down, down and we’re spinning around/ sugar we’re going down swinging/ I’ll beat your number one with a bully/ A loaded gun complex, cock it and pull it.” The words are actually, “We’re going down, down in an earlier round/ And sugar we’re going down swinging/ I’ll be your number one with a bullet/ A loaded God complex cock it and pull it!” It’s funny how song lyrics can be misconstrued! On a different, but relevant note, there’s some country song that comes on the radio all the time at work (I know… it makes we want to puke on the daily haha) where he says that he has a “Semper Fi” tattoo on his left arm. One of the guys I work with was like, “that’s a good motto to have on your arm, ‘Simplify!’” We laughed really hard at that one!
