"Dirty Little Secret" is a song by American rock band the All-American Rejects from their second studio album Move Along. It was released on June 6, 2005, as the lead single from the album.

"Dirty Little Secret" was written by Nick Wheeler and Tyson Ritter, who claimed that because they were both at the time in long-term relationships with their girlfriends they had to "concoct some histrionics". Wheeler said "We come from a small town, and until now we've both had steady relationships. So, you know, sometimes there's not enough drama or turmoil to write about, so he simply writes stories. And that's where the lyrics come from."[4]

"'Dirty Little Secret' was just an acoustic guitar and a vocal, that's all it was", Wheeler said. "We put off getting the full band in and coming up with the arrangement until the very last second. We were literally less than a week away from going into the studio, and we all started jamming and tossing out ideas. We had the arrangement down within an hour and that was that. We ended up recording it and couldn't get the motherfucking thing out of our heads."[4]

The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. Contactmusic.com stated "Give this cheeky little track three listens, and it's got you. You'll be singing along at festivals all summer with a huge grin on your face. There may indeed be laws in some countries about having hooks this large and frequent during one song",[5] while About.com said "'Dirty Little Secret' is catchy and amiable, but it's little more than that. The title seems chosen for intrigue, but it promises much more than it delivers. The song is ultimately a rather ordinary treatise on carrying on a secret relationship."[6]

ClickMusic reviewed with "There's nothing exciting about this. It seems such a tired format, a group of guys in their early 20s peddling teenage angst like they were A. It's upbeat, rocky with a typically catchy, if corny, chorus, yet this really seems like one for the fan base only."[7] Music OMH stated "If Simple Plan are a poor man's Green Day, The All-American Rejects are a poor man's Simple Plan. It's fluffy punk pop for middle class American teenage girls who don't want to listen to Ciara and 50 Cent, and would rather get sweaty with boys in eyeliner than shake their booty to the latest Missy Elliott remix."[8]

"Dirty Little Secret" first charted in the United States on July 30, 2005, and became the band's first top 10 track on the Billboard Hot 100; peaking at number nine in January 2006.[9] The song also climbed to the top spot of Billboard's Hot Digital Songs after a total of 26 weeks[10][11] and later peaked at number 48 on Billboard's "Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 2006".

In the United Kingdom, "Dirty Little Secret" was originally released on October 24, 2005, but charted poorly at number 96 on the UK Singles Chart. It was re-released in June 2006 following the success of the band's second single "Move Along" and gave the All-American Rejects their second top-20 hit in the UK.

The music video for "Dirty Little Secret" was directed by Marcos Siega. It was filmed in May 2005 in Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in Dorneyville, Pennsylvania and various other Allentown locations and was released a month later in mid-June. It features a montage of various people holding up postcards sharing "dirty little secrets" while the band performs the song in an abandoned warehouse with the cards enlarged and displayed behind them in a backdrop.

The postcards in the video were posted by anonymous people onto the website PostSecret, a project where users can create their own cards; sharing their darkest secrets and posting them to the website without giving their name or any other details. The idea came from director Marcos Siega when searching for inspiration for the video. He performed an internet search of the word "secrets" and came across the PostSecret website. The All-American Rejects agreed with Siega's idea and paid the website to use some of their postcards for the video, with the money going towards The Kristin Brooks Hope Center, a non-profit organization that funds a suicide hotline. After the release of the music video, the band sold the postcards featured on eBay with the proceeds also going towards the Hope Center.[12]

Seriously though, from where I sit the dirtiest secret of them all is that there are no secrets. Sometimes I wish there were. Perhaps there is a golden ticket to the publishing factory somewhere. In the end publishing is about common sense. Never was there a more practical field to work in. It combines the physical with the ephemeral. There are the nuts and bolts and the strategic innovation. There is nothing that beats the smell that wafts over your senses when cracking open a new book. And yes, the ability to see the work that you and your colleagues do, innovating for your academic communities, is immensely satisfying. If you are a politician then, yes, there is much here for you. If you are a salesperson, have at it. If you have one foot in the academic cloud and the other foot in business, then you are in the right place. The secret is that you should be open to everything and pragmatic to the core.

The good news is that this balance is often achieved by getting regular and meaningful user input through a variety of methods. While we might still run the risk of bias in the interpretation of data, most experts adapt when evidence shows them they need to.

My experience and observations have been rather the opposite. US science policy makers, in both the Congressional and Executive Branchs, have elaborate interactions with the research community. In fact some policy analysts argue that these elaborate, time consuming mechanisms are a drag on progress. Perhaps publishers are not aware of all that goes on.

As someone who does the science of science and trend analysis, in the context of policy, I would like to agree, but I am not sure that I can. We are already a pretty active and relatively large community in the science policy domain.

Science policy is dominated by the issue of what programs to fund. This is a very elaborate process, taking several years for each annual budget. The funded science community is heavily involved, but they do not have the last word, because this is democracy not technocracy.

A lot of studies are thrown into the pot along the way. For example I have been doing studies in favor of redirecting a major research program. These studies typically do not appear in journals, by the way, because that route takes far too long. So it is not clear what you want that is not already being done. Major science policy issues are usually awash with studies.

Another dirty little secret (not sure it applies to your scenario, but it might) is that sometimes scholarly publishers trip over the fact that the same skills that make someone well-suited for certain critical roles, can cause delay in progress. An example is acute attention to detail (that is, attention that is beyond the point of diminishing returns!).

2. The American Library Association and its members almost universally advocate that all other scholarly publishers transition to open-access, yet the Association earns millions of dollars annually from selling and licensing proprietary content.

4. Aries Systems Corporation happily licenses its EditorialManager software to OMICS International, the most notorious of all the publishers on my list and the target of a U.S. Government lawsuit, and OMICS has used its email address (@editorialmanager.com) for spamming and to make itself look legitimate and victimize researchers. Other industry firms are also profiting handsomely from predatory journals.

6. Many academic librarians demand universal open access, yet academic libraries happily and hypocritically pay a princely sum each year to OCLC, which copyrights and then re-sells taxpayer-funded metadata created by libraries back to libraries (the same model as subscription scholarly journals). Numerous OCLC executives draw salaries over USD $250,000. In return, librarians are rewarded with lavish parties and meals at conferences, other perks, and generous salaries for serving on the many OCLC boards and advisory groups.

Your comment number one is just wrong! Most of the folks I met in scholarly publishing in the sciences were liberal arts majors like myself! Of course I only met those involved in the business over the last 40 years.

Most libraries are scrupulous about honoring and protecting copyright. Aries is a business, not a moral arbiter of publishing practices. There is a world of difference between copyrights and patents. OA remains a small market force, which is why there is a lot of ambivalence reflected in business models. So on and so forth.

I would add the lack of transparency in the pricing model, both as regards the content generator (what are the costs associated with the value being added in providing content facilitation, as expressed in APC/BPCs) as well as the content user side. It is my perception that no one has an issue with moderate profits and extra costs for extra services, but the relationship between pricing and value added has been somewhat opaque in academic publishing, which has lead to suspicion, anger and the search for more transparent models.

As a lifelong academic, I can attest that this is _absolutely_ true! My >10-years involvement in STM publishing has made me appreciate how much we (scientists, and esp. editors) _need_ publishing professionals.

Growing up, I was always one of the guys. I played sports with the guys & hung out with them and I did this all through college and beyond. That is till I met my now husband who wasn't keen on the idea of his then girlfriend having ALL guy friends (love you Randy - kiss kiss).

When Randy told me, I laughed. I know I won't be laughing when I get a call from his kindergarten teacher next year but at that moment it was funny to me. Of course we corrected him as we always do in these situations. And of course Randy pinpointed me as the source of the word and he would be correct. But to hear him use that word in that context just tickled my funny bone. 152ee80cbc
