ong information

The song is the final song on Panic at the Disco's début album "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out".

The bridge melody of "Build God, Then We'll Talk" is a derivative of the melody of the chorus of "My Favorite Things" from "The Sound of Music". The lyrics in the bridge also directly satirize the lyrics of "My Favorite Things".

Music video

The video director is unknown, but rumored to be Andy Soup. The music video depicts the story of a "pornomime" and a girl who falls in love after she watches one of his performances. Their relationship is a mimed one. Both "relationships" encompass a false feeling of intimacy and are essentially devoid of meaning. The mime and his girlfriend both walk in on each other having affairs (mimed, of course), again symbolizing the emptiness of their mimed relationships. They are not making love to real people — it is an illusion. The video is the first from the band to be web-exclusive, mostly because they felt it was too vulgar for television, but it has aired on MTV2 in the UK and is available on Music Choice On-demand.

The band does not appear in this video. Ryan Ross stated that he was annoyed that the video did not get any MTV Airplay. His annoyance was perhaps because "Build God, Then We'll Talk" was always the band's favorite song on the recordFact|date=April 2008, however they did not play it on the Honda Civic Tour in 2008 following the release of Pretty. Odd., their second album.
