The song differs from other Fall Out Boy songs, in that it does not feature guitar or drums on the track; rather, the studio version of the song uses only a piano and organ.

In concert, the band has approached playing the song in a number of ways. In the Leaked in London EP version, the song features heavy use of electric guitar and drums, including a breakdown in the final verse. On the Honda Civic Tour, Patrick Stump merely played the song on piano and sang without any assistance from the other band members. During the Young Wild Things Tour, Patrick would again play the song solo, but on acoustic guitar instead of piano.

Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet
|
Submitted By: Big D
|
|
This song was originally titled "Does Your Husband Know?" according to an MTV article. Presumably, the title of the song refers to former Major League Baseball player Pete Rose, known for sliding headfirst into bases. Rose was blackballed from baseball due to a betting scandal while managing the Cincinnati Reds and will likely be kept out of the Hall of Fame, located in Cooperstown, N.Y., because of it.

The song is reportedly about Pete Wentz's attempted suicide, while listening to the song "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen (which is sampled in the song) in his car, although his comments in an interview with Guitar World suggest otherwise.

This song is the only song from Infinity on High whose original title wasn't changed for the final cut, and is also one of the only four songs off the album which directly refers to its title in the song, the others being "Golden", "Thnks fr th Mmrs" (as "thanks for the memories", with vowels), and "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race".

In an interview with MSNBC, Wentz told Chicagoan/Today Staffer Devin Johnson, that the band was to film the video for the song in Uganda, and further noted, "...we're going to shoot it on 24p cameras and donate the money that we were going to use in the video for the film or the video to a project over there..." According to Billboard, the band shot the video for the single after having performed their first show in South Africa. A sneak peek of the video aired on TRL on September 12th, and the music video for "Me + You" can now be seen in its entirety on AOL.com. FUSE TV premiered the video on September 14th.

The line, "I'll be your number one with a bullet" is a nod towards the movie, High Fidelity, where Rob talks about Laura being on his Top 5 of Worst Break-Ups with a bullet.

The song was the first by Fall Out Boy and the first by an artist on the Fueled By Ramen label to reach the top ten in the Billboard Hot 100. This success would lead to future Fueled By Ramen artists breaking into the mainstream, and helped pave the way for the group's next single, Dance, Dance, to also crack the top ten on the chart.

This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race
|
Submitted By: Big D

The song is reportedly about lyricist/bassist Pete Wentz's frustration with the ever growing 'emo scene'. As he told Rolling Stone, "There may be other songs on the record that would be bigger radio hits, but this one had the right message." Wentz got the idea for the arms-dealer metaphor from the Lord of War movie.

The website that bassist Pete Wentz promotes, FriendsorEnemies.com, made "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" available to the internet community on November 17, just after its radio debut in Indianapolis. It is easily Fall Out Boy's biggest hit.

Thnks Fr Th Mmrs

The title, "Thnks fr th Mmrs" is the words "thanks for the memories" after having been disemvowelled, much like it would be written as part of a text message. Another reason for the song title's lack of vowels comes as joking nod at Fall Out Boy's record company, who have asked them to shorten their often verbose song titles.

The song features Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds on mandolin and The Movement Orchestra Strings, and was featured as the theme song on an episode of VH1's Best Week Ever. The chorus of the song contains the line, "He tastes like you, only sweeter", a line referencing the The Patrick Marber play, Closer which premiered on Broadway in 1999. There is a widespread misconception that the line originated from the film adaptation of the stage play by the same name.
