"A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More 'Touch Me'" was the third and final single pulled from Fall Out Boy's second album, From Under the Cork Tree (2005), with a title that's pure pop-culture magpie. It started life as "A Little Less Molly Ringwald, a Little More Samantha Fox" before swapping the actress for her 1984 film Sixteen Candles and the singer for her hit "Touch Me". Pete Wentz wrote the words and shares the music credit with Patrick Stump, Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley; Neal Avron produced it, and he and Tom Lord-Alge are credited with the mix.
It never matched the radio pull of "Sugar, We're Goin Down" or "Dance, Dance", topping out at 65 on the Hot 100. The TRL crowd was keener: the video hit number one there in May 2006, the album's third straight single to do it.
