History Music / PanicAtTheDisco

** The sample that occurs exactly midway through the ''AFYCSO'' intermission, interpolated from Creator/OrsonWelles' ''Radio/WarOfTheWorlds''.

* ''Death of a Bachelor'' (2016)

* BetterPartnerAssertion: * This argument is in "Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off", where Urie compares himself against any other guy, putting himself on top.

* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: Listen to "Build God Then We'll Talk", particularly Brendon's pronunciation of "caricature".

Panic! at the Disco was an American pop rock band from UsefulNotes/LasVegas formed by childhood friends Ryan Ross (lyrics, guitar and vocals), Spencer Smith (drums), Brent Wilson (bass) and Brendon Urie (lead vocals, various instruments). The name comes from a line in the song "Panic" by Name Taken, but due to the relative obscurity of this reference, the more familiar "Panic" by Music/TheSmiths is usually cited, as the song contains the line "Burn down the disco" in its chorus.

* LongTitle: They enjoyed giving their songs these in their earlier days. [[WordOfGod According to Brendon]] they shortened the titles over time since he kept forgetting them.
** ''AFYCSO'' includes "The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage", "Lying is the Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off", "There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of It Yet".

As a result, Panic! was widely considered by audiences, the media, and Brendon himself to be Brendon's solo endeavor, as he wrote/co-wrote all the songs and played all the instruments, with some contributions by studio musicians and music producers. In January 2023, Brendon announced that Panic! would be disbanding after the European leg of the Viva Las Vengeance Tour, as he will be focusing on raising his family. The final performance was on March 10, 2023, at Manchester's AO Arena.

Before Brendon assumed full control of Panic!, the band was known for their [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes quirky]] [[RummageSaleReject fashion sense]], rampant [[FauxYay stage gay]] antics, witty lyrics, and [[LongTitle longer-than-life song titles]] (which were initially made as jokes but later abandoned for more traditional-length titles after Brendon began forgetting them onstage). Later on, the band name as helmed by Brendon became more famous for [[LargeHam theatrical performances and aesthetic]] and a general shift in sound towards danceable pop with jazz influences. One trait consistent through both phases of the project is Brendon having a [[https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=%23&ved=0ahUKEwjMw_7u_vbbAhUhxVkKHRLxA3kQwqsBCCgwAA&usg=AOvVaw0VTJzWxrN8ZFOD4xbU2nov vocal range]] to rival [[Music/{{Queen}} Freddie Mercury]].[[note]]Appropriately, they covered "Bohemian Rhapsody" on the ''Death of a Bachelor'' tour.[[/note]]

* ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'' (2005)

** ''Viva Las Vengeance'' not only concludes with "Do It to Death" as the album's finale, but as Panic!'s final song from their discography because it fades into the introduction of ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'' to emphasise on how the singer is going to forever be in a continuous loop they can't break out of.

* AllThereInTheManual: The lyrics that come with ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'' expand on some of the songs, due to containing the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen original]] lyrics for the songs instead of the versions that ended up being used.

* CircusSynths: ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'', most notably the song "I Write Sins Not Tragedies," the music video for which has the band crashing a wedding of circus performers.

** Near the end of the music video for "That Green Gentleman", a group of old men appears dressed in the style of the band circa ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out''.

** It occurs multiple times on ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'':

** ''Viva Las Vengeance'' not only plays it straight with "Something About Maggie" and "Sad Clown", but it even [[InvertedTrope inverts this at the end, too]], as the final song from the band's discography, "Do It to Death" loops itself back to the introduction of "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out".

** ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'' - {{Emo}}, Synth Punk, and BaroquePop.

** Most of ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out''. "Camisado" is a notable example, being an upbeat dance song about a person who gets regularly hospitalized.

** ''Vices & Virtues'' was more in line with ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'', however.

* NonAppearingTitle: All of the songs on ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'', but seen less and less with each successive album. Brendon has said this is because he had a hard time remembering the titles of the songs.

** ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'' was recorded by Spencer, Ryan and Brendon. [[note]]Brent is credited with bass, but his parts were actually recorded by Brendon because, according to Spencer, the former wasn't a consistently good enough musician.[[/note]]

** Almost every song from ''Vices & Virtues'' [[ExaggeratedTrope takes this up to eleven]], especially when "Ready To Go (Get Me Out of My Mind) transitions into "Always", which then transitions to "The Calendar" and ends its arc with "Sarah Smiles". If you think about it, these four songs connect to make up a 15-minute short story.
