(Newser) – Here's a case of life imitating art, and then art imitating life, or something. Fall Out Boy, which is named for the sidekick of Simpsons character Radioactive Man, has recorded a version of the show's theme song, and it will air during Sunday's closing credits, Access Hollywood reports. Pete Wentz and company, however, won't appear on the show as Simpsons-esque characters, though Emily Blunt does a voice-over as Lisa's new pal.
