"I Write Sins Not Tragedies" is a song by American rock band Panic at the Disco, and is the second single from their debut studio album, ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'' (2005). It was released on April 27, 2006 on both compact disc and 7 inch vinyl. The song was written by guitarist Ryan Ross, lead singer Brendon Urie and drummer Spencer Smith. The famous riff that plays during the introduction and verses is played on a cello by session musician Heather Stebbins. The song reached No. 7 on the United States ''Billboard'' Hot 100. This was the band's only top forty hit until the release of "Hallelujah" in 2015. In the UK, the song was released on February 27, 2006 as a limited edition single with a free sticker. Because the sticker was included with the CD single, the song was not eligible for the UK singles chart. UK chart rules state that stickers are not allowed in single releases. Later, in September 2006, due to the popularity of the track and following further single releases there of "Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" and "But It's Better If You Do", going top 40 there, the single was re-released on October 30, 2006. Despite receiving significant radio airplay upon its re-release, the single only reached No. 25 in the UK Singles Chart. Many U.S. radio stations, in response to the language found in the song, wanted an edited version. The lyrics "The poor groom's bride is a whore" and "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?" were changed by replacing "whore" with a "''shhh''" sound and removing "god" in "goddamn". Some stations — generally modern rock stations – still play the original version. The song was covered by Fall Out Boy, fellow Decaydance band, for their live album, '' * * * *: Live in Phoenix''. (Fall Out Boy commonly uses the song's chorus as a lead-in to "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" in concert.) "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" was ranked No. 3 in ''Billboards Best 2000's Video poll. ==Title== The title of the song refers to Douglas Coupland's novel ''Shampoo Planet'', wherein the main character, Tyler Johnson, says: "I am writing a list of tragic character flaws on my dollar bills with a felt pen. I am thinking of the people in my universe and distilling for each of these people the ''one'' flaw in their character that will be their downfall — the flaw that will be their undoing. What I write are not sins; I write tragedies." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Write Sins Not Tragedies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
