So sue us, whatchu gonna do with us?
I just read on Absolutepunk that Fall Out Boy is being sued because of the lyrics “ It’s just past eight and I’m feeling young and reckless the ribbon on my wrist says, “Do not open before Christmas.”
It comes from Nicholas Hans, member of now defunct band called Knives Out, who said that lyric is based on a shirt they used to sell:
and the line below it reads “Don’t Open Till After X-Mas”
Hans is reportedly in talks with a lawyer to determine his options. Ironically, (although completely unrelated to this matter) the lyric comes from the song the song “Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song So
We Wouldn’t Get Sued“
Ha. Ha?
