"I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" by Fall Out Boy

 


Wilmette, Illinois hardcore emo band Fall Out Boy derived their name from a lesser-known Simpsons character.  And, unlike some other bands that took their moniker from the iconic animated sitcom, they don't utterly and unequivocally suck.

Here, they tackle a tune that Billboard magazine dubbed one of the ten most pristinely perfect pop songs ever, the 1987 Grammy award winner for Best Female Vocal Performance "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)," a megahit for Newark, New Jersey singer Whitney Houston.
