Which My Chemical Romance song has the same name as a Clint Eastwood movie?

The My Chemical Romance song sharing its name with a Clint Eastwood movie is “Hang ’Em High.” The track appears on the band’s 2004 album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.

The title comes from Hang ’Em High, a 1968 American revisionist Western starring Clint Eastwood. Eastwood plays Jed Cooper, an innocent man who survives a lynching and later becomes a deputy U.S. marshal. The film was directed by Ted Post and was the first production made by Eastwood’s company, The Malpaso Company.

My Chemical Romance’s “Hang ’Em High” is a fast, dramatic song that fits the band’s theatrical approach to storytelling. Its title is a direct reference to the Western rather than an unrelated phrase that merely happens to use the same words. The punctuation may appear as “Hang ’Em High” or “Hang Em High” in listings, but the answer is the same.

A nearby music fact is that Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge was My Chemical Romance’s second studio album. It helped establish the band internationally and includes other well-known tracks such as “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” and “Helena.”
