Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Party Poison. By Songfacts®.

This is a track from New Jersey rockers My Chemical Romance's fourth album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. The band debuted the song during a secret show at the Roxy in Los Angeles on July 31, 2010.

This straightforward punk tune features a shout-out to the MC5's 1969 proto-punk classic "Kick Out The Jams." "This was the cream of the crop of the stripped-down style we were going for," guitarist Ray Toro told Spin Magazine. "And just the spirit and energy of the MC5 - that fuels this song."

Toro told Spin that he and his bandmates met up with MC5 frontman Wayne Kramer and played him this track. "We actually got to play that song for Wayne Kramer [of the MC5] in our pre-production, which was awesome. He wanted to come by and visit us, and we said, 'Hey, can we play you this song? I lyric-check you guys in it. You know your band is a huge inspiration for our sound on this record.'"
