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!

Panic! at the Disco - Tonight Show with Jay Leno, NBC 11:35 p.m.

“(We're Not) The Jet Set”

George Jones and Tammy Wynette | 1973

George Jones and Tammy Wynette were still married when they recorded the tongue-in-cheek "(We're Not) The Jet Set." The lyrics, written by Nashville songwriter Bobby Braddock, who also penned Wynette's "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" and Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today," make fun of the good life by declaring, "We're not the Jet Set/We're the old Chevrolet set." Braddock recalled that while writing the song, he needed the name of a city that evened out the rhyme he had with "Riviera" and "Missourah." “I got out a Rand McNally atlas," he said. "In the first part are the maps. The last part is an alphabetical listing of cities. I wanted a rustic, small-time sound. I went to the listing for Missouri. And I found 'Festus.' I loved the sound of it."
