New FOB video!

Today, August 6th, is the day the new video for "What a Catch, Donnie" by Fall Out Boy came out! And after watching it, I must say it is some of their best work. I love how it's centered around Patrick, because in most videos it's a) with the whole band or b) just focused on Pete. But it's good to see someone else sharing the spotlight, and especially when it's someone like Patrick xD (quick story, speaking of him, yesterday I was talking to this girl and mentioned how much I like him, and she threatened to rip my arms off... *shrugs*). Anyways, continuing on with the video, it really is possibly their best work, when it actually comes down to the storyline. I haven't been able to get it on itunes, so I can't load it on here (I can't buy anything on there til we come home. For now I'm just downloading songs and saving them to my computer) But if you'd still like to see it, you can check out the link listed below:

Now, onto what the video is actually about, in short terms, Patrick is stranded at sea on this small fishing boat. He goes on to befriend a seagull who landed onboard (it's so cute to see them together =D ). Later on, you'll see him fishing by the side, and his findings are memorable items from previous videos (ex, deer antlers [Sugar, We're Goin Down], striped jacket [Dance, Dance], a drum of Andy's, and the letters FOB [Thnks Fr Th Mmrs]). Just like the song lyrics near the end, it brings back memories from older albums. After discovering that, he looks out to see a sinking ship, and sees several people in nearby life boats. Helping them onboard, you can pick out Andy and Joe, and a few other famous people, but I'll leave the surprise for you =) In the very end, you see Pete going down with the ship (poor Pete!). But if you pay attention to the lyrics about halfway through the song, it says "they say the captain goes down with the ship..." Do you think it had any influence on the idea of the video?
Now, with the song, you'll hear previous FOB songs being played at the end, but it's not only Patrick singing. I don't think I've mentioned this on here before, the cd came out long before I started blogging =) but I'll still say it for those who don't know. Along with Patrick singing, there's also (just to name a few) Gabe Saporta, Travis McCoy, Brendon Urie, and William Beckett. How's that for a list? =)
Even if you aren't FOB's biggest fan, I recommend watching the video. I think you'll enjoy it, I know I did! =)
