Thnks fr th Mmrs

In an interview with Genius, bassist Pete Wentz explained that the song revolves around the theme of a broken relationship, but also contains critical commentary towards society's obsession with fame. The title, "Thnks fr th Mmrs" is the words "thanks for the memories" after having been disemvowelled. The title's removal of vowels comes as a facetious nod at record label Island Records, who had asked them to shorten their often verbose song titles. The line that appears near the end of each chorus, "He tastes like you, only sweeter", is a line from the play and film Closer. ==Chart performance==

The song peaked outside of the top 10 at No. 11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, nine places lower than previous single "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race". It was later certified six-times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting the shipment of 6,000,000 copies, as well as selling 2,527,000 digital copies in the US as of February 2014. The song also peaked at No. 19 the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks and No. 13 on the Mainstream Top 40. In Australia, "Thnks fr th Mmrs" reached a peak of No. 3 on the ARIA chart, after initially peaking at No. 4, making it the band's highest-charting song in that region and the second top 10 hit single from Infinity on High there. It was certified Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for the shipment of 70,000 units. In the UK, the track peaked at No. 12, making it another top 20 hit for the band there. Since 2007, "Thnks fr th Mmrs" has sold over 200,000 copies to date, becoming one of the band's biggest selling singles in the UK. In New Zealand, the song placed at No. 11. In Ireland the track came in at No. 17. ==Music video==

The music video opens with Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz talking before filming it. Patrick asks Pete if he is sure about something; Pete replies, "Patrick, the guy's a visionary." The song then starts up, and suddenly, a chimpanzee yells "Cut!" and calls the band a "joke", complaining that he should have hired Panic! at the Disco. The chimpanzee then texts somebody on his phone, complaining that the band is "wack". Later, Andy Hurley is replaced by another ape, and when he tries to retrieve his drumsticks, he is thrown out of the studio. In one scene, Pete is shown receiving a phone call from William Beckett of fellow Decaydance band The Academy Is... (it is a cross connection between the video for The Academy Is...'s "We've Got a Big Mess on Our Hands" which shows William making this call to Pete). Other scenes show the band playing the song on a brightly lit stage with the letters "FOB" in the background, and the band's different communications with the chimpanzees. At one point during filming, Pete sits on a bed and attempts to kiss his character's love interest (played by Kim Kardashian), only to have the chimpanzee stop him and show him the correct way to kiss her. Unhappy with the chimpanzee's demands, Pete tries to leave, before Kardashian stops him and the couple kiss, prompting Pete to stay. In the final scene, Pete breaks the choreography. As the chimpanzee angrily complains about his behavior and calls him a "prima donna" (a reference to Fall Out Boy's earlier single, "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race") and begins caressing Kim, Pete smashes his bass guitar into the "B" from the "FOB" lights on the back wall, then leaves the stage. The "B" falls off leaving "FO". The video was directed by Alan Ferguson. The "FOB" lights on the back wall of the video can be seen floating on the water in the music video for Fall Out Boy's "What a Catch, Donnie". In 2018, Fall Out Boy released a music video for "Bishops Knife Trick", the tenth track off their 2018 album Mania, which heavily parodies "Thnks fr th Mmrs". ==Track listing==
