"Buddy jogging" is so ridiculously '80s. Also ridiculous? Fall Out Boy's slightly postmodern, totally self-aware new video, "A Weekend at Pete Rose's (Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet)," directed by Shane Valdés.

Obviously the video's a salute to A Weekend At Bernie's (no, you don't need to dig too deep nor be a film historian to figure that out), and it's my favorite new video inspired by a movie. (Last week that honor went to  LMFAO's "La La La," but clearly they've been trumped.)

No, Pete Wentz doesn't *necessarily* die in Fall Out Boy's highly hush-hush new video "What A Catch Donnie" and no, "What A Catch, Donnie" isn't *necessarily* their last video.

"What A Catch, Donnie" is all Patrick Stump's Elton John-ian vocal acrobatics (and Elvis Costello's guest vox, don't hurt), set against a misty, wistful Hemingway/ Decemberists backdrop of nautical metaphors. It's kind of like the movie Castaway but with 100 percent better art direction and no volleyball or whatever that busted thing was.

The "What A Catch Donnie" video was shot off the waters of Los Angeles by Alan Ferguson. Speaking of cameos, watch for Panic! At The Disco's (SO... hard to remember whether or not to use the "!") Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith.
