[edit] Song trivia

• It has been previously reported that the song "Our Lawyers Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued" was called "I Liked You a Whole Lot Better Before You Became a Fucking MySpace Whore" before Fall Out Boy's lawyers intervened and made them change the title. The song was actually originally called "My Name is David Ruffin... And These Are The Temptations." [1] While the lawyers did indeed suggest a title change, "I Liked You a Whole Lot Better Before You Became a Fucking MySpace Whore" is a completely different track, which Pete Wentz promises will be put on Infinity on High (now also with a title change as well due to legal reasons). [2]
