Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Rat A Tat. By Songfacts®.

This song finds Fall Out Boy collaborating with Courtney Love. The band apparently had a great time recording with the Grunge icon. "There was a lot of camaraderie with her. She's out here a little bit, but she's real smart... You don't really realize, but she's circling everybody, very predatory. In a very intelligent way, she remembers all these numbers and weird stuff from years ago... She's cool," they smiled to Australian radio show hosts Kyle and Jackie O.

They added that Love brought her own flavor to the song. "She offered a different perspective. At the end of the day, anything on the record, we wanted to wait until we were all really happy with it."

Love's snarl, "It's Courtney, bitch," at the beginning of the track is a nod to Britney Spears' cry of "It's Britney Bitch" on her "Gimme More" single.

This song came early in the Save Rock And Roll recording process and was built around a demo guitarist Joe Trohman had made, which vocalist Patrick Stump then worked on.
