  • they really know how to do a damn fine cover version. not the first time theyve done it

  • This is better than the original.

  • THE best Morrissey cover. There are a lot of flops, but this one actually does the original justice

  • Criminally underrated song!

  • I'm no Killers fan, but I tip my hat to them for this

  • can u please allow playback on iPhone

  • this is honestly an amazing cover!

  • No homo but I don't think I've ever seen a man look any more attractive than Brandon at 1:22

  • Great cover, a fan of the Killers admittedly but this one doesn't take anything away from what makes the original great

  • the counter must be broke as it only keeps track of MY views!!

  • @justinorris - I know what every word in this song is about and it's true Meaning/Definition..

    I Referenced Long may it last with regards of the beauty of the song ;-)

    Viva - Morrissey!

  • I am a HUGE Morrissey/Smiths fan and i have to be Honest when i say this - This is a Wicked Cover!

    The Killers are a Great band and "In My Opinion" The Best band to come along since The Smiths demise in 1987 - and that's just It!

    This very song is so Deep and Real - "Long may it Last"

  • @28larss when they say long may it last it means that time is extremely long and slow? I am a spaniard. Thanks. I like very much Morrissey, Killers, and a spanish group called Tachenko. Saludos!!!!

  • But Could You Ask For A Better COVER...??? No...

  • @tany3000 this is brandons voice,  maybe your more familiar with there earlier albums , because he sounds a little different then, but not much of a difference

  • A valiant effort but very inferior to the original.

  • That mustache.....I want it

  • Not bad but after honestly everything sounds like dogshit after you listen to Morrissey

  • Definitely the Killers - this is one of their B-sides for All These Things That I've Done.

  • are you sure this are the killers??? that is NOT brandon's voice at all... is someone else form the band singing??

  • @tany3000 No it is definitely Brandon singing :)

  • i was craving synth. came here. i am satisfied.

  • yeah I still like Morrissey's version more but this is definitely a respectable cover, without a doubt

  • why don't you find out for YOURSELF. or shut up. it's about the music 'industry.'

    i've covered it.

    morrissey fanatics are peculiar. 

  • this boy haves a nice voice too... what a fucking great song...

  • i like the morrisey version, but this one is prett cool too.

  • молодчики!!

  • Very cool in that they are showing proper respect to the Moz. It's obvious that they are fans of the original material. Still, this is so lacking compared to Morrissey's version

  • @satchmodan I agree, lacks the emotion of the Morrissey original and the voice isn't as good but full credit to The Killers - they know what artists to cover and who to be inspired by.

  • i love the part where brandon plays the keyboards

  • They are showing respect to the man ,hopefully it leads to kids listening and learning

  • taken very seriously, honorable, it's fun to play a song you revere, it isn't about competing with it, it's a beautiful song, thank you for recognizing it.

  • Not quite good enough...

  • damn good cover... stop hating.

  • bitch is  an awsome cover...

  • @samievantroyen Wtf you little cunt? gtfoh keep your comments to yourself Bitch If you dont like it then get the fuck out of here dumb twat

  • anyone know where i can download this song? =[

  • Nice......Not Morrissey but good I like

  • love this tune and a good cover one thinks

  • Great cover! Love it:)

  • MORRISSEY IS BETTER!!

  • Im jealous of the power a lot of guys have over the girl i like, and this song wont stop playing in my head.

  • I love this cover, and I thought the Joy Division cover was sort of upsetting. Love the Killers though. This is a useless comment. Later.

  • fuck me, they've butchered a classic moz tune which is a pity cos i know this guy loves the Smiths...pity but the yanks are simply NOT cool

  • @chewblued hard to believe there america though there msuic is great

  • GREAT pics :DDDD

  • Not really doing anything surprising or different but still a good cover...you can tell their heart's in it.

  • Absolutely loving this cover

  • Aparently the killers love Manchester pop...

  • this is ..weak.

  • Has anyone got the MP3 for this, please message me on here and I can give you my email.....thanks!!!

  • personally i don't think there is such a thing as a great cover of any morrissey/smiths songs..

  • Brandon Flowers has the sexiest voice known to mankind.

    <33333333333333333333333333333­33333333

  • Undoubtedly the greatest cover of any Morrissey/Smiths song

  • @HangTheDJ16 I Concur!

  • @HangTheDJ16 You're obviously forgetting the Radiohead cover of "the Headmaster Ritual"

  • MORRISSEY and The Killers,,,my life is complete now!

  • Great song! great photos too! :D

  • i love morrissey x

  • I love Morrissey and I adore The Killers. This is pretty good obviously doesn't beat the original but I love how Brandon is actually trying to sing and sound a bit like Morrissey here! Adorable.

  • Crappy band, Great song from Mozzer tho.

  • Comment removed

  • this is a pretty great cover ;D

  • respect to them. paying homage to to big daddy. :)

  • Very loving & faithful remake of one of my favorite Morrissey songs. The Killers are a great band!

  • El batería es Earl!!!!

  • id rather listen to the killers ANYDAY than those shitty pompous and heartlessly boring indie bands with beards and lame ass "cool" factor. ie decembrists iron and wine and fucking band of horses, shit like that is stupid, fuck those people that make that kindof music, they are so rediculously pent up and stupid and fake

  • @joeperryforpope YEAH I AGREE. FUCK PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT TASTES IN STUFF. THEY'RE FUCKING STUPID.

  • is this on any album cos i havnt seen it? : /

  • one of my favorite songs, great cover!!...

  • love this cover so amazing, any way of downloading this version of this song, it seems to be done in a studio ? on itunes or something ?

  • I love this song.

  • Love the Killers!! Never heard this one, till now! Love it!

  • In this song he even sounds like Morrissey

  • Im a huge the killers fan, but putting that aside, i think this is a fantastic cover because it really sounds like morrissey but obviously with a twist.

  • really great cover

    also, really great pictures! :-)

  • Smiths hasn't substitute, but when I hear Killers I feel the same feelings when listening morrissey's voice

  • This is kind of cool and I do, in fact, like the Killers -- but Morrissey's voice is the only voice for this song, in my opinion. This comes off simply as a good tune, while Moz's original is transcendent.

  • Im a big Killers fan but the Morrisey version (Live) witch is on Youtube is a lot better.

  • Sorry Morrissey FTW

  • love love their cover! for me, this version is better than morrissey's

  • @kimty14  you would think that

  • Best cover. ever.

  • is it just me or does Dave have AWSOME hair. i dont know i just love it. :D

  • Thank you Dave

  • NOPE. like the morrissey version WAY better.

  • Did this come from Hot Fuss or Sam's Town sessions?

  • @marwood03 Probably Hot Fuss sessions. This was almost immediately after Sam's Town was released in October of 06.

  • I'll quote somebody in another Killers video;

    "You can be a straight guy and still be in love with Brandon"

  • @marwood03 yep

  • @marwood03

    Very very... VERY true

  • Comment removed

  • @marwood03 No you cant.

  • I want the tab...

  • great band doing a cover of an awesome song! thanks for posting

  • killers are fucking awsome!!!

  • "that's just the way it goes..." new favorite saying!!!! xD <3

  • Dobro jutro Spomenka,ČK:)..

  • It's fine, but Morrisey's voice is unique.

  • 1.28

    love that pic :)

  • Wow, this song is all about my job and the people in it!

  • Morrissey has been around faaaaarrrrrr longer than The Killers. He is one of their greatest influences. Morrissey owes them nothing. If anything, they owe him for decades of inspirational beautiful music. I love the Killers and especially love the fact that they are paying tribute to another great musician.

  • Sorry sweethrt13, pressed the wrong button! I meant to give a thumbs up

  • I really like how prolific The Killers are, in both their covers and new material. I'm always finding something new (which is especially great because they might be breaking up :[ ). This is a brilliant song and I love the Morrisey version too, although I wouldn't have know about Morissey if it weren't for The Killers. So, aren't they doing him a favor?

  • they're not going to break up any time soon. Theyre taking a break from their tour which finishes soon but theyve been touring for about a year and half and havent stopped. they need an energy boost for their next album :D so we have more to come....

  • I hope that's the case. But I heard a radio DJ was saying that in the past, this is what bands do to let their fans down easy.... But they seem to work together so well that I have some faith in them. :-}

  • im 99% sure that wont happen, which is a good thing, im not trying to be a smartass about it all haha but i know that they hate letting their fans down,especially now that theyve had to canel 7 shows on their asian tour and a few in their australian tour due to illness of a family member, and ive heard brandon saying that he hates it when he has to cancel gigs, we've got lots more to hear from them :D i cant wait!

  • Thanks for the info! That's good to know-- they BETTER stay together, because I have yet to see them in concert, and they keep turning out gold so why stop?

  • haha good point! they're amazing live, highly recommend :D

  • Good effort, but why cover an already perfect song?

  • because theyre great fans of morrisey and like younger listeners to be inspired by the oldies :) without the killers i would never have heard of any of morriseys songs, or the cure, or the human league, or depeche mode, or smiths, i could go on... :)

  • I couldn't agree with you more...

  • *bwah modern music is crap* is all I seemed to see in your post. Stop living in the past, music changes and the killers are a great band.

  • It's true I do like the killers, and I may have acted a bit stupidly earlier, but you don't need to treat this cover like it's some kind of heresy, just see it as the killers paying tribute to morrissey. You might not like it but some people do, which doesn't give them a 'less evolved state of interpretation of entertainment'.

  • @idiotjoyland - The one and only thing thats correct about your post is the first part of your name. What was lame and languid about hot fuss? It was original, it was racy, it was emotive, it was edgy it was immaculately constructed. But that aside - WTF do u assume every1 just wants to please or become their parents? You must know about 3 people in the whole world to believe that. You sound like some pretentious post punk counter culture loner who should really just grow up and get out more.

  • The Killers did a great job with this song

  • I actually like this version because to me, Brandon doesn't have an accent, and I like it without the accent. But the original is amazing too, don't get me wrong! =)

  • la verdad es que prefiero este cover , la verdad es que no se me quita de la cabeza ,lo han hecho genial

  • the killer's covers are always better than originals. they're the best<3

  • im with you ,the killers rules (for me)

  • @smilejbaby17, no offence, but get dead. Morrissey is a god and the original is so much better. Theres no soul in this version, its not bad though. Besides, how can he sing the song correct if he didnt write the lyrics.

  • @smilejbaby17 ...oooo idk, morrissey is pretty top notch, id say they're on par w/ this song...but yea all other covers they blitz eg. shadowplay/girls jst wanna have fun.

  • people gave you a thumbs down for sharing your opinion.. ahah. i give you a thumbs up for honest opinion. Brandon is an amazing vocal artist,. he dose not usually use much emotion to take away from the amazing and captivating music from the band.

  • I agree, I gave hickmanlax70 a thumbs up too for the same reason. i'm a huge fan of the killers, and I really like this. of course covers will never have the same emotion as the original because they have no way of feeling he same feelings as the writer. anyway, Brandon is a huge fan of Morrissey and he's just trying to pay tribute to music he idolizes. whats so wrong with that? if you don't like it, don't listen to it.

  • Gorgeous song! Gorgeous singer! Gorgeous band!

    But the original is very awesome, too!!!

  • haha dont kid man, this is way better than the original

  • I love Brandon and I'm a straight guy...that's saying something

  • i love brandon.! i think it's sexy you admit you do too. :D

  • @Mattyboe i love morrisey and im a straight..NOW THAT SAYS SOMETHING

  • @Mattyboe its saying your not straight, you are bi-sexual.

  • actually i don't really like the killers, but they did a very good job covering this wonderful song!

  • Who Likes Mark's Beard At 0:19-0:26, I Quite Like It Myself

  • Love Morrissey, thought this was a good cover.

  • brandon has a cold xp

    but it's a good cover!

  • cool cover

  • I think the Killers have done a good cover,i sing along to this!

  • my favorite killers song... although they didn't write it.... i like the way they sing it with little emotion.... fits the track

  • if any 1 has this on mp3 PLEASE e-mail it to me pm me and ill give you my email

    tx

    love the killers!

  • Thanks illegal mate. You want to be careful, Lord Mandleson might find out & e-rape you.

  • Ahahaha this made my day

  • The Killers did a great job with this cover!

  • I love morrissey and I love The Killers. I'm gonna have to say that Brandon version is better.

  • 1:26 ;-)

  • I like Morrissey and I like The Killers but really, what is the point of covering a great song? You're not going to improve it are you? Especially with such a faithful reproduction such as this. Far better to take a shit song and turn it into a gem.

    If you're just playing someone else's song cos you like it you're nothing more than a bog-standard pub covers band. Tuesday night down the Dog and Fox £4 on the door £3 with flyer. Pubquiz to follow.

  • i disagree but ur comment is hilarious and u got a point :)

  • errm u r aware that this is a b-side...that theyve never tried to pass it off as anything valuable? If other people want to do that then thats up to them, but to compare this song to something you could find on saturday night down your local is frankly retarded.

  • They did a good job covering a great song, not easy to do.

  • awesome song!!! :D i love the killers!

  • this is a pretty good cover

  • I love Moz! They did a gr8 job on this, one of my favorite tracks!!

  • he has the most amazing voice
