Fall Out Boy - Where Did The Party Go

The video for Fall Out Boy's Where Did The Party Go was released and the first thing I want to mention is the fact that the video is just titled as "Fall Out Boy - Where Did The Party Go" on YouTube and doesn't have "part 7 of 11", I'm just wondering if there is a reason for this.
Maybe there isn't a reason for not including the videos order in the sequence but I just don't understand why they wouldn't number it because surely they would want people to see the previous videos if they haven't done so already.
Maybe this is one of those things that will make sense later.



I really wasn't expecting this. I was expecting this song, I just wasn't expecting this to happen in the video but I'll get to what happened in a minute.
When a new music video from Fall Out Boy's album Save Rock and Roll is released I write a Blog entry analysing it, There is an ongoing story called the Young Blood Chronicles and I've written Blog entries for each of them.
If you look back at the previous blog entries you will see that some interesting points are made in the comments so be sure to read the comments, any way someone in the comments for the last video predicted this song so well done to him.

This video starts where the last video left off with Foxes turning on the tape, Patrick Stumps eyes turning Yellow and then he goes on to chasing the rest of the band into Linda Vista hospital.

As the music starts we are given a brief montage of specific hospital shots like an oxygen tank, a tap and some x-rays of feet before moving on to a disco ball spinning, the band name and song title are shown in pink typography.
This sets the scene for the video which is subsequently in a hospital and the disco ball hints to the song title, again the situation clearly seems to be a set up because they revealed the name of the hospital to be "Linda Vista Community Hospital" which if you look it up is a hospital that is no longer in use and is known for paranormal activities and is used as a set for films and music videos and even if you didn't know the history you can clearly see that the hospital is empty (other wise there would be people working, visiting or staying there.) but for some reason there are x-ray photo's, the power is turned on, the door is open and there is still equipment and there are wheel chairs and beds lying around so someone wanted them to end up there. ( As I mentioned from the previous video Blog post someone wanted them to end up there because some one wanted Foxes to drive the band there is the first place.)

Andy, Joe and Pete run through the hospital reception and into a corridor with blinking lights trying to find a room to hide in , the trio begin banging on the door in an attempt to get into the rooms.
In this Scene there are 2 things that stole my attention, 1 being the clock spray painted on the wall.
The "clock" has a musical note in the center with a line through it.

I've been thinking about this could this mean there is "no time for music"? that is the most logical meaning and this makes sense as someone seems to be Kidnapping, using and killing musicians. So far we've seen 2 Chainz, Fall Out Boy, Big Sean and Foxes and we're yet to see Courtney Love and Elton John so maybe the theory that Courtney is the baddie behind this wrong? maybe she will be a victim too seeing as she is also a musician? And if she is evil why would a musician "have no time for music"? Or why would anyone want to kidnap, use and kill people? what's their goal? who knows.

Another thing I noticed was that the band were trying to get into different rooms some of the doors were locked and some where open which makes me think that who ever is behind this wanted them to go into certain rooms like maybe there was something in these rooms that could be used to kill them or they are to block escape routes, The only thing that I don't think when to the antagonists plan was when Big Sean escaped, killed the creepy little boy and turned Patrick's tape off  in The Mighty Fall.

As Patrick walks through he can see a slickly looking woman at the desk sitting in a golden spotlight in a darkened room, when in reality the room is fairly bright with blue lighting and there is no one at the desk.
I don't suppose anyone really knows what the women did to Patrick in the Alone Together Video to make him react like this when he hears that tape so I'm not sure if he's meant to be hallucinating or whether he is actually seeing ghosts of dead patients and I guess both are plausible seeing as the hospital is known for it's paranormal happening and that Patrick must be hallucinating to some extent to want to kill his band mates.

The different lighting probably indicates that he hallucinating.

Joe find an operating Theatre with X-rays of feet on the wall , Andy finds what looks like a store room and Pete seems to find what looks like either a check up room or another store room.

As Patrick walks down the corridor he can see yellow disco lights so for him it looks like he's at a party whilst for everyone else they are running around this big empty hospital trying to hide from a killer, the lighting is interesting as for the other band members the experience is terrifying and everything has a blue tinge, everything seems really clinical and dark whilst for Patrick everything is probably darker and more mysterious but there are flashes of colour dancing around the room, despite the fact that the hospital looks more inviting for Patrick than the rest of the band he still looks angry and frustrated.

The lyrics whilst describing a what sounds like an interesting wild party and it sounds like fun
 "And all the boys are smoking menthols
Girls are getting back rub"

It sounds like people are having fun but maybe not Patrick himself

"My old aches become new again
My old friends become exes again

Woah where did the party go?
We were ending it on the phone
I'm not gonna go home alone
Where, where did the party go?"

It sounds like he is enjoying himself but not in the same way the other party goers are, the lines "My old friends become exes again" and "I'm not gonna go home alone" could be seen as both bad and good situations to be in, the prospect of some sort of sexual action is got to be positive but the fact that he seems to want it so bad probably isn't that great and then in the end everyone leaves and nothing happened , I get the impression that although it's a good party he wasn't in a good place to begin with, if the Young Blood Chronicles are meant to represent a part in the Fall Out Boy hiatus I guess this would be the part where you are still famous but no longer successful.
Your still invited to all the cool parties but nobody is really interested in you, you're not really all the happy either so you're struggling to enjoy it.

 Maybe that's why Patrick looks so angry despite being at a party.


The Trio look around the rooms they have ended up in whilst Patrick searches the Corridor, in the party lights he see's slickly woman in a hospital gown in a wheel chair but when the lights go back to blue the wheel chair is empty, The fact that they are in a hospital and Patrick can see sick people that aren't there makes it
seem like they could be ghosts as it would logical that sick people would've died in the hospital then that theory contradicts it's self when he walks into an autopsy room and he can see a woman in a "sexy nurse" outfit and a male in a a high school sports jacket.

The room is lit with pink disco lights, possibly to symbolise "rose tinted glasses" when you see things in a nicer more romantic way than they really are.
The male walks out the room and the nurse starts giving Patrick some kind of lap dance.

 I think the Nurse could represent how some women (and men) will give a person sexual attention and act like they care when they don't and just want them for personal gain, because she's a nurse and nurses care for people but she isn't really a nurse she just looks like she's role playing, the boy who was in the room with her had just left so she has now moved on to Patrick so she is probably using him to make her self feel better or to make the other man jealous.

Or maybe because the video is set in a hospital they can exploit the presence of a Sexy Nurse so they included her in the video,  I overly sure.


Mean while Andy looks into the medical supplies and pull out a bottle of what is most likely disinfectant, Joe realises he is locked in the operating Theatre room and can't get out and Pete tries using the phone only to work out it's not plugged into the landline.
Andy pours the disinfectant over a wound and lets out a scream which draw Patrick's attention and he leaves the operating theatre while Pete takes the phone to find a landline socket and plugs the phone in.

This seems like another set up, providing that Foxes was made to take the Band to Linda Vista by the antagonist and that the people behind the kidnapping, using and killing actually locked the doors inside the hospital that they didn't want anyone entering wouldn't it seem weird that they left the room with the internet cables and the land line sockets open? they could have even taken away the all the phones too so something tells me that who ever is behind this wanted them to use the phone.

I'm not sure why because if they wanted to recapture the band they could have just ambushed them in the hospital or gone to the hospital and captured them. I think it's like I said before in previous Blog entry, they are teasing the band, letting them get away and let them think they are safe just to be recaptured and/or tortured again, they let Pete find and use the phone, they let Andy clean his wounds but they Trapped Joe in the X-ray room.

Patrick enters a ward, for Patrick the ward is dark and lit up with green Disco lights, the green lighting could represent sickness maybe, the fact that the nicer warmer colours like yellow and pink are no longer being used could show a change in mood.
The room is  filled with people with sick people dancing whilst again in reality everything is a grey-ish blue.
There are different people in the ward, there is a man in and orange visibility coat wearing a hard hat sitting in one of the beds and an old man in a hospital gown with a zimmer frame.

This makes me think they're ghosts because obviously old people are a lot weaker and it wouldn't be too hard to believe that old people could've died at hospital, the same with the man in the hard hat if he was working in construction he could've had an accident and then died in hospital, the only problem is that there seems to be nurses and doctors present (note how different the nurse and doctor are to the "Sexy Nurse") and it seems unlikely that doctors and nurses would die in hospital so that could imply that they aren't ghosts and that Patrick is hallucinating.

The Sexy Nurse is present in this scene along with many other sick looking  people and the male in the sports jacket, again it is plausible that he could be a ghost or a hallucination.
He seems to fit the popular kid archetype at the party who is interested in the "pretty girl" the Sexy Nurse who he seems to be with in a lot of shots.

Whilst Patrick is in the ward, Pete Phones the Police and Joe is still stuck in the operating Theatre.
The people in the ward could be ghosts because the patients at least All seem to be either injured and wounded or sickly and wearing hospital gowns. There is also a little girl on the ward receiving a balloon animal.
If the patients are ghosts which would make sense seeing as Linda Vista is known for hauntings and everyone there looks pretty sickly then why are there Doctors and nurses, they wouldn't have died in the hospital besides they don't look very sickly (I'm not counting the Sexy Nurse as an actual nurse).
If they were meant to be ghosts why have a doctor and nurse, why include them if everyone was a ghost and they weren't so this makes me think they are Hallucinations.

Patrick spots Joe through a window and makes his way over to Joe's room, as Patrick walks down the corridor he can see flashing red lights and all the sick people are dancing along behind him and Joe hides in a cupboard, the red could symbolise danger.

As Patrick comes to the door it reads "operating theater" he opens it easily.
I have some questions:
 If the hospital is abandoned why are there X-ray' in the operating Theatre , if the hospital is disused why would there still be X-rays?

The X-rays are of what looks like the torso and some other body part I don't really recognize, Maybe they are meant to be Patrick's X-rays, they took out his organs so maybe they wanted to see what he looked  like but then what is the other X-ray of?

An secondly how come Joe couldn't open the door but Patrick opened it with ease?
was it some kind of special door that couldn't be opened from the inside? Or did some one lock him in and then unlock the door before Patrick got there?

We are shown shots of Andy and Pete reacting to the commotion, and as Patrick closes in on Joe we are shown a shot of the phone on the floor to reveal that Pete has finished phoning the police.

Patrick pulls Joe out of of the cupboard as Pete and Andy make their way to the Operating Theatre, Joe finds some kind of cable to fight Patrick off but Patrick pins him to the operating table.

The light on the operating table turns into a Disco ball as Patrick collapses.
It's interesting to note that the light in the corridor is green as Andy and Pete enter the Operating Theatre when it was dark when Patrick entered however the corridor had a slightly greeney-blue tinge before he reached the room.

When the music stopped his Patrick's eyes faded from yellow to his natural colour and Pete, Patrick and Andy stood in horror as the police sirens began to sound and it was revealed that Patrick had killed Joe.

There seems to be an connection between music and the change in Patrick's eyes and his behavior, the tape seems to be a stimulus but he didn't change back until the song stopped so maybe there is more to this than just the tape, come to think of it a musician becomes violent/evil when music starts then that isn't great for them career wise.

Foxes eyes also changed in the "just one yesterday" video just as the track ended and as for 2 chainz in the "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark" video he was wearing sung glasses so his eyes could have changed too so if the antagonist "has no time for music" what better way of getting rid of it than killing off artists or making them become violent/evil at the sound of music?
 That's my theory but then that could potentially debunk the theory that Courtney love is behind this.

I also don't think the police are going to be very helpful, I think the remaining members of Fall Out Boy will either run away or that the police will take them back to the musician kidnappers.

I also think the next song will be Death Valley, it could be Miss Missing You but I have a theory they might leave that for the last video as a sort of epilogue.

 "Sometimes before it gets better,
The darkness gets bigger,
The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger"

The lyrics sound like they are looking back and remembering "before it gets better the darkness gets bigger" implies that they have been through the "darkness" because it sounds like they are talking from experience.
The lines:
 "Now you're gone, but I'll be okay.
Your hot whiskey eyes have fanned the flame."
To me this sounds like it's describing Patrick's yellow eyes, alternatively this song could be next and the lyrics could be referring to how they miss Joe.

I doubt Saving Rock and Roll or Rat A Tat will be next but who knows, we only have 4 songs left so we're going to find out sooner.
