Though not exactly subjects of some of the blogosphere's scathing gossip just yet, Cobra Starship have certainly seen their fair share fame, fortune, and celebrity -- in doubt thanks to labelmates and media targets Fall Out Boy, the leader of which, Patrick Stump, produced the band's forthcoming LP, ¡Viva La Cobra!. And album gem, the eclectic, dance-floor ready rocker "Smile for the Paparazzi," appears to be an ode to the hangers on and celebrity whores the band have experienced first hand. "Party queens if you want to be seen taking a shit where you sleep then smile real wide for the paparazzi," belts frontman Gabe Saporta.

The tune, an eclectic mash up of Top 40 Latin-flavor and hard rockin' sing-alongs, rolls out with a series of acoustic snaps, giving way to a thick chorus of fuzzed out guitars, clunky and effected keys and finally a bouncy, funky instrumental. A surefire hit amongst aspiring Jersey girls and Lohan-lovin' partygoers nationwide, "Smile for the Paparazzi" weds Timberlake-esque jangles and rhymes with ample arena filling thrust for the rocker set. Pick up Cobra Starship's sophomore set ¡Viva La Cobra! when it hits store shelves Oct. 23 courtesy of Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen. Say cheese!
