Fall Out Boy, Lupe Fiasco Release Chicago Bulls Anthem "Only the Bulls" [LISTEN]

The version of "Only the Bulls" from Fall Out Boy is a remix of a 1996 song of the same name by Ira Antelis, Cheryl Berman and Steve Schanwald. The original hype song, written in the middle of the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jackson pandemonium is reinterpreted by Fall Out Boy for the verses and instrumentation, while Fiasco handles the verses.

"That right there should make you want to fan up / If you a fan, it'll make you wanna stand up / If you already standing, put your hands up / Real high, man, try and touch the banners," Fiasco spits in the hype anthem, calling to those from "the floorseats to the nosebleeds" and from the youngins to the OGs.

As for the instrumentation, Fall Out Boy takes the original "Only the Bulls" anthem and turns it on its head. Stripping away the hyper '90s horns and peppy instrumentation, Pete Wentz and co. turn the anthem into a powerful, industrial new anthem. Patrick Stump's vocals screech in the chorus as he soars into falsetto territory to declare the name of the team.
