"Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy" is the second single released by Chicago band Fall Out Boy, taken from their 2003 album, "Take This to Your Grave". Though it never achieved much mainstream success on the radio charts, it remains one of their more popular songs among fans. It has drawn in a large amount of digital downloads. The more mainstream success that Fall Out Boy received with the release of their 2005 album, "From Under the Cork Tree", also strengthened the song's popularity. The song managed to peak at #83 on the U.S. "Billboard" Pop 100.

The song itself was released on 7" yellow vinyl, a split 7" with My Awesome Compilation.

The title of the song was taken from a Braid song, and subsequently, the name of the record label started by Braid members, Roy Ewing and Todd Bell.

A new "Millennium version" of the song was included in the 2005 re-release of "Take This to Your Grave (Director's Cut)".

Music video

The video begins with a close-up of Patrick as he begins to sing a cappella, then cuts to show the rest of the band performing outdoors in the snow. Throughout the rest of the video, shots of the band are interlaced with the storyline of the video. The storyline shows a boy with a hand-held camera walking in the woods. He reaches a house and hangs around for a small period of time. A girl wakes up and notices him. She begins to get dressed. He then records her while she puts on her clothes. She looks out the window at the boy, causing him to run away. He reaches his van and opens the door, only to find the girl is inside, and they begin to make out. The video ends with a close-up of Patrick Stump.

Legacy

The girl and guy from the video also appears in the "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" music video, at Pete Wentz's "funeral".
