From Under the Cork Tree is the third full length album by Fall Out Boy, and their major label debut on Island Records, released on May 3, 2005 (see 2005 in music). The title is taken from a line in the book The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf.

The album cover features a van with a trailer in a bank of snow. This is a reference to their accident that took place while on the way to New York to film the video for "Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy" from their album Take This To Your Grave.

The first single was "Sugar, We're Goin' Down," and the follow-up was "Dance, Dance," both of which became high-charting hits, with Dance, Dance becoming a bit more popular than its predecessor. The third single is "A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More "Touch Me"".

The Limited "Black Clouds and Underdogs" Edition was released in December of 2005, featuring three new songs, remixes of "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" and "Dance, Dance", and on the iTunes-exclusive version, their respective music videos.

[edit] Miscellanea

• It has been previously reported that the song "Our Lawyers Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued" was called "I Liked You a Whole Lot Better Before You Became a Fucking MySpace Whore" before Fall Out Boy's lawyers intervened and made them change the title. The song was actually originally called "My Name is David Ruffin... And These Are The Temptations." [1] While the lawyers did indeed suggest a title change, "I Liked You a Whole Lot Better Before You Became a Fucking MySpace Whore" is a completely different track, which Pete Wentz promises will be put on Infinity on High possibly with a title change as well due to legal reasons). [2]

• The song "Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner" seems to be taken from a Dirty Dancing quote spoken by Johnny Castle (played by Patrick Swayze).

• "Of All the Gin Joints In All The World" is a reference to a quote by Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca.

• The only songs on the album that mention the song title in the lyrics are "Sugar, We're Goin' Down", "Dance, Dance", and "The Music or The Misery".

• Track 12 is titled "Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying". This refers to a famous quote from "The Shawshank Redemption".

• The song "Champagne for my Real Friends, Real Pain for my Sham Friends" is taken from a quote by Francis Bacon.

• The song "The Music or the Misery," is taken from a line in the movie High Fidelity ("Which came first, the music or the misery?")

• Another song entitled "Hand Of God" was presumably recorded during the "Cork Tree" sessions. Although it was cut from the album, the demo has been leaked onto file-sharing sites.

• Backing vocals for the song "7 Minutes In Heaven" are provided by Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco.

• In the song "Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year" the line "The best part of believe is the lie" is sung by William Beckett of The Academy Is...

• In the song "I Slept With Someone From Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me" the screaming vocals are done by Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory.

• The abbreviation of the album itself is "F.U.C.T." (said as "fucked"). During promotions for the album the band would say to "go get F.U.C.T.!"
