The original title was, "My Name Is David Ruffin And These Are The Temptations," which is a reference to how Ruffin tried to change the Temptations' name to "David Ruffin and The Temptations," which Motown had done with "Diana Ross and The Supremes." Ruffin overestimated his popularity and was fired from the group in 1968 when he alienated his bandmates with his ego and histrionics. Although he was a very talented singer and performed lead vocals on many of The Temptations hits, the group went on without him and had several more; Ruffin died of a cocaine overdose in 1991. This song is a warning about the trappings of fame, and the title is true: If Fall Out Boy kept the original title, they would have risked a lawsuit from Ruffin's estate.
