The lyrics "The poor groom's bride is a whore" and "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?"

Fall Out Boy commonly uses the song's chorus as a lead-in to "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" in concert.

The video for the song takes place at a strange, circus-themed wedding played by the Lucent Dossier Vaudeville Cirque.

The video starts as the bride, played by Jessica Preston Gatena, and groom, Daniel Isaac McGuffey, are about to be married.

Her family dress and behave formally, but they are revealed later to have fallen asleep and have eyes painted on their eyelids.

According to vocalist Brendon Urie, he and guitarist Ryan Ross suffered from the flu while filming the video clip.
