| Song |
"Clothes Off!!" is the fifth single from Gym Class Heroes' third album, As Cruel as School Children. It features Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump, although the song doesn't give credit to him. It was released in June of 2007.
The original hook for the song is from Jermaine Stewart's 1986 single "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off".
Rapper Mase also recorded a song with the same chorus on his album Welcome Back.
British pop artist Lil Chris is to release another version of the song sometime in 2007. [citation needed]
Music video
The video starts with the band driving up to a casino with the song "Viva La White Girl" playing. After checking into their rooms, Travis McCoy makes his way down to the casino floor and runs into an Elvis impersonator playing a slot machine. Travis engages in a game of strip poker with several girls, and seemingly wins, as he is the only one that remains dressed. It all turns into a party with Elvis performing on a stage. The members from Gym Class Heroes engage in a dance-off with four costumed figures.
Special cameos include the members of Panic! At The Disco, dressed as animals, Pete Wentz as Elvis, and possibly Patrick Stump dressed as a white rabbit, a possible reference to the Cobra Starship video for the song "Send My Love To The Dancefloor, I'll See You In Hell (Hey Mister DJ)" and "The Church of Hot Addiction".
The video gained the #1 spot on TRL on Thursday, August 2, 2007 beating out Boys Like Girls's "The Great Escape".
