I'm getting non-existent 80's flashbacks

stands outside ur bedroom window with a boombox in hands playing this song

this is something bob ross would listen to while painting

Summer of 83’ met the most beautiful girl in the world that year. Sadly I made the mistake of rushing things and drove her away/lost her. This was our song, Karen if you see this it’s Johnny. I’ll never forget our trip to the mountains and you saying we’d live forever. Hope you’re doing good, and don’t be a stranger

*"'Fall Out Boy: Sugar, We're Goin Down' was filmed in front of a live studio audience."*

I saw them in concert back in 1989, when they sang this was just magical, I was with my then boyfriend (now husband) and was just perfect. What a good time to be alive.

Why am I getting the feels from all these ironic comments about listening to this in the 80s.

This was my mum's favourite song back when she was in high school. We were cleaning out the attic when she found an old mix-tape with this on. Apparently it was the song she and my dad first danced to together, back on their first date in 1986.

Someone get this to Pete

This belongs at the end of a movie lmao

It's been like 30 years since they broke up and I still waiting for their comeback, even if it's without Pete, but it wouldn't be the same, Pete Wentz was a legend, sad that he's no longer with us😥

I still have their live shows in VHS 📼 tapes in my garage

*Patrick's like "yo i got a soul voice"*

Matches Patrick's 'soul voice' perfectly

Voila, Patrick's sideburns suddenly make sense

my parents werent from the US, but this song was able to make it over to Colombia, my mom said even though she didnt understand what they were saying, it was her favorite song when she was my age. what a timeless classic, glad to know so many people still like it after all these years💖

*non-ironically listens*

I was born the year before this song came out. What I'd do to have been a teenager in those days. Jealous of all of you who got to see the world tour in '89. Can't believe it's been almost 30 years since they broke up. I hope we see a reunion someday.

Oh this one is a classic, I've got it on vinyl and it was my prom dance song in 1986. Memories!

This is what emos listened to in the 80’s

This feels so wrong but sounds so right.

I remember hearing this song for the first time ever back in the mid 80's, me and my girl were driving down the coast, beach babe's and eating pizza at old Mario's while sipping on crystal pepsi......those were the days!

Imagine this - it's 1983 and Pete Wentz is picking you up for the high school prom in his DeLorean. Wicked

Let’s start a petition to get this remix in stranger things season 4

why does this sound like the combination of a FOB tribute band and the band that plays in proms in movies

**generic comment saying this is more than I bargained for**

fall out boy was my favourite band back in the 80's 😍

This song came on when I took my first girlfriend out on a midnight drive back in ‘87 to get some milkshakes from Paul’s Diner. I snuck out with my dad’s convertible and it started raining as we were cruising. I draped my Members Only jacket over her as she held my hand. I was on a high after getting a job at Circuit City. We drove through the rich part of town and I told her I was going to get rich from this new job and buy her a house out there. Funny how times change. I also remember thinking that in the future if we ever had some kind of device where we could play any song any time that this would be on it. I guess I predicted Spotify. All we need is for this song to get added on.

If you slow it down to 0.75 it sounds like prom in the 80s

THIS IS MORE THAN I BARGAINED FOR

I remember my parents told me how their first dance was to this back in 1982.

This sounds like the type of song they would play at prom while everyone is slow dancing while someone is in the bathroom crying

My girl and I just listened to this on her rooftop from the mixtape I made her. (Jk I'm single and it was with my dog)

I remember dancing to this at my prom in ‘86. What a time to be alive back then. We may have done a lot of cocaine, but hey, it was the 80s🤷🏼‍♂️🙏🏻 EDIT: I’ve got my own pop punk vids on my channel if you’re keen

when you're a 2005 emo kid but you also love the 80's

I can see why The Simpsons chose to name Radioactive Man's sidekick after this band.

THIS IS SO PERFECT

Rocksound made an article about this!

I remember this song when it was everywhere, back in 1987. My first thought was “this shit is a Tears For Fears and Peter Gabriel rip off” and never bought the record. After 30 years, I finally decided to pick it up, and damn was that album better than I thought it was, I’m ashamed that I didn’t pick it up when it came out.

I miss the 80's when I was not born yet. Everything changed when my mother gave birth to me.

They need to release this on itunes/spotify

As soon as the vocals came in I screamed 😂😂

I remember hearing this on the radio at the time and instantly fell in love with it, my mum (R.I.P) and I then listened to it on our stereo on repeat everyday when i came home from school. They don’t make music like this anymore

So glad I was able to see them before they stopped touring, will never forget meeting Pete and having him pour me a drink Good times #BelieversNeverDie

Petition for this guy to release these 80s covers on Spotify.

Had my first kiss to this back in '86, truly magical song

What a throwback! I remember listening to this on MTV for the first time back in the summer of 1985. My husband who was also a fan back in the 80s will be joining me when we see them during their 45 year reunion tour!

I remember when I was a kid back in 83’ brings pleasant memories. I hope they have a reunion

I found my parents record collection in my basement when I was a kid. We dusted them all off and listened through them from time to time. This was by far my favorite. Such a touching use of language. We played this both at my parents vow renewal and my fathers funeral. It's got a special place in my heart.

"LADIES CHOICE SKATE, EVERYONE!!! LADIES CHOICE. GIRLS, GRAB YOUR GUY AND GET ON THE RINK!" "GUYS, IF YOU DIDN'T GET PICKED, PLEASE MOVE TO THE SIDE SO THE LADIES CAN SKATE!"

Ahhh the 80's. The times that I don't remember.

I remember when this came out back in '86, I was just a kid back then, but I remember that the world blamed Pete for breaking up the band, but it was really Patrick who lost control after losing the lead in "One Crazy Summer" to John Cusack. His abuse and on stage drama is what started Pete down that dark path, and then it was too late.

sounds like a 90's family drama theme song

I CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING GOING DOWN, DOWN IN A EARLIER ROUND

I remember back in '88 at my first middle school dance, they were playing this song and my crush and I slow-danced for the first time. Who knew that 30 years later we'd be married and our first dance as a married couple was to this song? Life is crazy kids, enjoy it while it lasts.

I forget how old these guys are... Such a long well deserved career spanning many decades!

As someone who was a child of the 80s I can confirm that this is true. I remember dancing to this song at school disco's, wearing my leg-warmers and ra-ra skirt. A true 80s classic.

I remember going to a Fall Out Boy concert back in '84 with my mom. It was so great and I nearly cried when they played this song. Can't believe it's almost been 30 years since this song was released. I do wish Fall Out Boy could've gotten atleast one reunion after they broke up back in '96.

I remember when this was in the credits of 16 candles, the 80s were a simpler times, kids of today will never know of this epic band 😉

It was the year of 88, and my dad went to prom with a a few of his mates. He went to go get some punch from the punch bowl and that's when he saw her, this beautiful young woman standing there all by herself. My dad instinctively walked towards her and that's when this song started playing. He asked her if she wanted to dance and the next thing you know they were both on the dance floor slow dancing to this song... Eleven years later, I was born. Man, time sure flies doesn't it? 🤔

This is actually really pleasant

Someone must get Patrick to see this omg

When I was 16 in 1987, I lost my virginity to this song. I was at summer camp and lost it to a fellow counselor. We dated through college but sadly parted ways. I still cherish the memory.

You deserve a billion subscribers.

Thanks for existing and giving this to us

If this song was covered by I Don't Know How But They Found Me, if might sound something like this, only less ballad-y.

why is this an accurate representation of my music taste

Wow I remember dancing to this at my prom in ‘86 with my boyfriend now husband. We still cry every time we hear it.

*.75 speed for pure prom experience that I’ve never had.*

I want you to know that I miss you so much Sally. Since that last dance at the prom in 86 I think about you every day with this song... our song.

I remember seeing them live back in ‘84. It was a truly wonderful experience. Right up there with Bowie and Mercury. Today’s music will never compete. Sad that they’re gone

Thanks for the memories. I was landing on a runway in Chicago, grounding all my dreams of ever really seeing California. That night the headphones delivered the words that I couldn’t say-in the form of this song. What a time, 1985

Whenever I'm sad I'm going to listen to this

I just can't fight this feeling anymore....

I remember the first time I listened to this song, sometime in 1985, my dad made me listen. He told me it was the top song on radio for California. I still listen to this song even today. I'm in collage right now, but I hope my kids can listen to this with me one day. Thanks dad. I love you. Hope you're up in heaven with wings, soarin' between the clouds, old man.

I was 10 years old at Camp Crystal Lake West. My parents sent me there because they were remodeling the house and I was just in the way. That summer I ended up having the greatest time of my life, and I met Pam Stefanksi. Her dad was this plumber that you saw on TV. The final night of camp after the Camp Olympics we sat on the dock while everyone was at the rec room for the end of camp dance, and we could hear this song. I was going to kiss Pam when these kids from across the lake at Camp Crystal Lake started screaming. I missed my opportunity and we had to go back to our cabins. She left early that next day because of something that happened at the other camp the night before. I never saw Pam again, because they closed the camps around that lake. To this day when I hear this song I remember Pam, and my summer of '89.

Play at .75 speed for pure 80s Prom memories.

It’s so sad that all my fellow 2nd graders listen to Justin Bieber and Katy Perry and they don’t even know about Classic 70s and 80s rock like Fall Out Boy or Paramore

I remember dancing to this at my wedding back in '87. Our first dance...it was a magical moment for the both of us.

That description, though 😂

ah the 80's what a time to be alive at

me and my mates used to skip rocks down by the quarry sipping on country time lemonade. summer of ‘86. Jean jackets, the smell of freshly cut grass, and fall out boy on the stereo. nostalgia.

Back in 81, I was 22 and I met the most amazing man in my life, we drove fast, lived fast and loved fast. He's gone now but the memories from that summer lasts a lifetime. Bobby, I miss you. -Jo Ann.

This used to be the Neighbours intro for their first 3 seasons! Brings back a lot of memories listening to it now

Sounds like an 80's show theme

This is becoming one of my favourite channels, can’t believe I only discovered it now.

Ah I remember the summer of ‘85. I was at the roller rink when this guy shows up. We talked and laughed the whole time. This song was the slow dance song at the very end and we skated together. 5 years later and we got married. Thank you Fall Out Boy for bringing us together!

Wish this was available in Spotify.

Dude, remember this on my prom night back in 1986. Oh my, how the time flies. Kids, enjoy what you have, tell that one person you love them and never get marry to a fat ass cocaine addict with an incredibly good talent on not dying of a fucking overdose. I love you.

I remember my prom in 86, building up the courage to ask Becky for a dance to this song before we never saw each other again after graduation. My hands trembling and sweating as I looked at her from the other side of the hall. Finally standing up, closing my hands into a fist, burying my nails into the palm of my hand. As I walked up to her nervously, I imagined us getting married, having kids, 2 dogs and a white picket fence. 6 feet from her now and the quarterback stepped in front of me with a shit-eating-grin, took her hand and pulled her onto the dance floor, no words needed...that was that. Never saw Becky again. She may not remember me but golly gee do I remember her...

It was autumn, 1987. I held her hand as the red and amber leaves began to drift down silently. Trembling, I took the mixtape out of my pocket with the hit song Sugar We're Going Down on it. I handed it to her, and she kissed me on the cheek. From that moment I knew my life would never be the same again. At 14, I had met my soulmate. Now it's 2019, and although she passed away 7 years ago, I still play that tape around this time of year, and the red and amber leaves still fall silently.

this is the song that my boyfriend (now husband) played on his boom box when he threw rocks at my window to get my attention. Ah, the good old days.

I dont know what i was expecting... BUT ITS WAS NOT THIS!! 😭 this is beautiful!! And sounds like a real 80s song!! My god this is just perfection!!

My now husband stood underneath my bedroom window with a boom box over his head with this song playing when he asked me to our senior prom. 1986 was such an amazing year.

I miss when they used to perform this version in concerts but it’s the punk rock remake of this song that’s popular with kids nowadays

I love this. I had an ex who’s amazing and I’m getting close to again and this was one of “our songs”, and listening to this brought a feeling upon me that I don’t know how to explain specifically. Thank you for making this

This is the only version of this song I genuinely enjoy. 10/10

This bring back memory lane when my dad use to play this song in his car back in the 80s

ugh remember getting this on my walkman when it first came out

I had danced to this in an eat n Park parking lot at 1 am back in ‘85 with a group of friends and our dates instead of going to prom
