The first batch of music videos from Fall Out Boy's new album American Beauty/American Psycho may have been filled with dramatics and daring visuals, but the band isn't always that serious. Today (Feb. 20), the Chicago rockers dropped a new music video for its latest AB/AP single "Irresistible" and they're just a couple of normal dudes, playing some b-ball in the park... with some very, very short shorts.
"Irresistable" takes FOB to the streets, where the fearsome foursome encounter a basketball game, challenging the winners to the next game.
But, well, Fall Out Boy are rock stars, not athletes, and they're not that great at doing the things necessary for winning a basketball game, like dribbling or keeping the ball or shooting or even keeping their hands intact.
Despite being astonishingly bad at basketball, Fall Out Boy are beyond cocky, flirting with various members of the crowd as they get held off by players and literally repeatedly drop the ball.
The video is comically shot and edited, using '90s-style VHS effects, bad overdubs and terrible special effects. (Patrick Stump's hand, Pete Wentz's body, anybody?) but it makes for a hilarious, throwback video vibe.
Oh, and the band totally comes back and wins the girls at the end - or not.

"Irresistible" is the third official single and music video from Fall Out Boy's Januaray album American Beauty/American Psycho. It follows the release of "Centuries" and the title track.
