Flamboyant, theatrical emo rock may not be as popular as it was back in the mid-Aughts, but you'd never know that from looking over tonight's late night television listings. First up, Panic! at the Disco will hit the Tonight Show, where they will play a number from their latest record Vices and Virtues. An hour later, My Chemical Romance will stop by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to play a cut from their extraordinarily energetic and deeply underrated fourth album Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. It's a good night to wear some guyliner!

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
