"That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed)" is the second single off the second album by Panic at the Disco, "Pretty. Odd." The song was the second song written by the band after they decided to scrap an album's worth of material, but was not played with "When the Day Met the Night" and "Nine in the Afternoon" at the various festivals Panic performed at during the summer of 2007.

The title of the album was already decided before the line, "Things are shaping up to be pretty odd." was written. [ [http://youtube.com/watch?v=BmWK4QxSyw8 YouTube - MTV.com Leak Interview - 'That Green Gentleman' ] ]

The song was performed (as well as "She's a Handsome Woman", and "Mad as Rabbits") on every date of the European tour prior to the album's release.

This single was also performed during the June 12, 2008 episode of FNMTV, hosted by Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz.

Music video

On February 10, 2008, MTV released an interview with Panic announcing "That Green Gentleman" as the second single from "Pretty. Odd." They also stated that the music video will include the band at different ages in their lives.

The video was recorded as part of a deal with Nokia, a deal comparable to that of Fall Out Boy's "Thnks fr th Mmrs" video, and The Academy Is...' "We've Got a Big Mess on Our Hands". The video premiered exclusively on Nokiausa.com on May 2.

There are two scenes where a Nokia product is shown. In one the members of Panic at the Disco are seen jumping on a Nokia 5600 XpressMusic phone, and the other is of someone in a crowd using the Nokia 5600 XpressMusic phone to take a picture.

The video, directed by Alan Ferguson, begins with a child version of band member Ryan Ross (Cameron Boyce) opening matryoshka dolls. When he opens the last doll, the members of the band and jump off the desk. They then land in a field and find various musical instruments. After playing them for a while, they suddenly open up (in the style of mayryoshka dolls) themselves and children versions of themselves come out.

The children versions of the band start running in the hills, while older versions riding penny farthings and singing in a row boat. The children versions of the band start rolling down a hill in a life-sized matryoshka doll and then opening once more to be elderly versions of the band, who have been subject to interpretation. The video ends with the band members rowing the boat into the sunset.
