"We've Got a Big Mess on Our Hands" was the first single from Santi, the Academy Is...'s 2007 album on Fueled by Ramen, and it hit radio that March. The song is credited to William Beckett, Michael Carden, Michael Guy Chislett and Andy Mrotek.
Alan Ferguson's video is the real show: Beckett trails a nastier, violent double of himself as it wreaks havoc, then charges onstage mid-set and pummels the impostor, only for the camera to reveal an empty room with no crowd, as if he had dreamed or hallucinated the whole thing. It even crosses over with Fall Out Boy's "Thnks fr th Mmrs" clip, with Beckett on the phone to Pete Wentz while a chimpanzee does Wentz's makeup. The song later popped up on Aliens in America and Newport Harbor: The Real Orange County.
