Music Video

The video for "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" (directed by Matt Lenski) deals with surreal elements as it stars a boy with antlers. The first part shows the town rejecting him because of the antlers, with an example of this rejection being a little boy throwing things on the antlers, then giving him the finger. He then meets a girl, who seems to like him. The video cuts in between Fall Out Boy performing, and the antler-headed boy and the girl together, on innocent dates. The girl's father disapproves of him because he has deer antlers. Because of this, the boy decides to try and cut off his antlers but is saved by the girl. Later on, the father tries to shoot the boy with an arrow, but he (the father) gets hit by a car. The camera follows a trail of arrows to show the antler-headed boy beside the man lying on the ground. The antlered boy is startled to find out that the man has deer feet. The man then accepts the antler boy and his daughter together, and the video ends. It has been described as a "warped fairytale love story" by members of the band. The music video turned out to be a hit and became their first to retire on Total Request Live, For the Poet Laureate of Milwaukee, see Antler (Poet). ...

Chart performance

"Sugar, We're Goin' Down" would rise and fall in inconsistent patterns. The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 2, 2005, at #93. Ten weeks later, on September 17, 2005, the song entered the Top 10 at #8 giving Fall Out Boy their first Top 10 single. At this point, the song did not have much airplay but had relied on the strength of downloads alone, and they had experienced a sales surge following their performance at the 2005 Video Music Awards.[citation needed] The Billboard Hot 100 is the United States music industry standard singles popularity chart issued weekly by Billboard magazine. ...
