Fall Out Boy???


In the song "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" by Fall Out Boy, they sing the line "I'll be your number one with a bullet" in the chorus. Is that like a tribute to this movie or something?

hey, don't know if you've found out yet, but if not: read the wikipedia.org article on "number one with a bullet", it'll explain :)

Most likely.
They have so many 80's film references in their songs. This one is probably just one of the many more. For example, The 'Nobody Puts Baby on the corner' is Dirty Dancing. 'Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Things To Do Today' is from Rushmore, and there are loads more that I can't remember at this moment.

Nah. I looked it up. Number One with a Bullet is an old saying when songs would go to the top of the charts quickly.

I believe so, as the video has a scene which closely mimics a scene in the movie.
