My Thoughts On The Song/Chart: Full title is actually “Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn’t Get Sued” A great and funny tune from FOB from their second album "From Under The Cork Tree" and one that was quite annoying on the vocals role due to its tricky charting.
Song Facts:
“Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn’t Get Sued” is a song by American rock band Fall Out Boy. It is the first track on their second studio album, From Under the Cork Tree, and was released on May 3rd, 2003, through Island Records.
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.
The reference is 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 when he alienated his band mates with his ego and histrionics. Although he was a very talented singer and performed lead vocals on many of The Temptations hits, the group went on without him and had several more hits; Ruffin died of a cocaine overdose in 1991.
The song is a warning about the trappings of fame, and if Fall Out Boy kept the original title, they would have risked a lawsuit from Ruffin’s estate. Wentz’s lyrics lament the prospect of fame, and how it will change them.
Many mistakenly believe the original title was “I Loved You So Much More Before You Were a MySpace Whore”. It is actually a joke from Rolling Stones Magazine.
The song is introduced by the clicking of numerous cameras, the sound celebrities hear as they walk down the red carpet.
