160. Sugar, We're Goin Down by Fall Out Boy, the Music Video
The year is 2005, and pop punk is taking over the radio waves. The guitars are heavy, the bass is thrashing, and the lyrics are coming atcha fast. At the center of all of this was Fall Out Boy with the massive hit \u2018Sugar We\u2019re Goin Down\u2019. Even the kids in our high school who didn\u2019t like rock were singing this in the hallways. It was everywhere. It\u2019s the song that turned Tom and Pat\u2019s high school band into what it was, and if there\u2019s anything that\u2019s better than this song, it\u2019s most definitely the music video.
Music video director Matt Lenski did more in 3 minutes and 50 seconds than most filmmaker do in 90 minutes, told a compelling and heartwarming story about a boy who loves a girl, a man who hates a boy, but turns out to actually hate himself. It was very well done, finger-licking salute and all.
