Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner. By Songfacts®.

"Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner" is a line from the 1987 movie Dirty Dancing. It is delivered by Patrick Swayze when he rescues Jennifer Grey's character (Baby) from an uninspiring talent show and pulls her away to dance.

This song is about a boy who is torn. He wants desperately to be with this girl ("Nothing comes as easy as you, can I lay in your bed all day?") but knows he is no good for her: "I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake... I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke."

This appears on Fall Out Boy's breakthrough second album, From Under The Cork Tree. Bolstered by the lead single, "Sugar We're Going Down," the album sold more than two million copies in the US and prompted the band's first arena tour.
