The song has resulted in much misunderstanding, the lyrics are an ironic take on Hipster culture. Flowers told Time Out Chicago in 2009 that "There’s so much snobbery. You go through high school and all the paranoia and crap that goes with that. It’s bullshit. I just didn’t want to be like that. We like big songs and we’re going to embrace it."
So many people complain that The Killers don't make good music anymore. The Killers still make AH-MAZ-ING music, no doubt. Their music has just EVOLVED and CHANGED. You don't like it, you don't have to deal with it. Enjoy your Sawdust, Hot Fuss, and maybe Samstown. Day and Age can be bypassed if you don't like it. ^-^
the Uk version had this song. The U.S. version had "chane your mind" instead. "Change your mind" was not on the U.K. version. Unless you buy the limited edition which has both, along with under the gun, and the ballad of michael valentine.
WoW!!! Hell Yeah!!!! Love the Killers! Been listening to a lot of the Killers, Hey You!, My Chemical Romance, The Clash, Kaiser Chiefs, and No Doubt....
Hey You! is still pretty new, but they're waaaay dope. Pop/Rock/Punk with a cool edge. Plus they've got a pretty hot chick singer too :-) ...check em out...
I first heard this song in a bar in Crete, when I was trying to kill 12 hours before my flight. I quite liked the Killers before, but had never heard this song. I must have listened to it at least 300 times since then.
thank you person who put this online. i will not be an asshole and bitch about the particulars. i'm going to listen to the song repeatedly. THANK YOU!!!!!
Hot Fuss version has way more of an Indie sound to it then the Sawdust version. I love the Hot Fuss version. you can hear the imperfections when he sings in the chorus but hey're just so good and real that it makes it amazing. Thumbs up for songs like this
@darkmidnight66 I apologise, the version is somewhat different to the version i have on my CD, the lyrics are even slightly different and the overall quality of the vocals is double on my version.
To all the idiots who keep saying this isn't on Hot Fuss... it was released on Hot Fuss Limited Edition in the US, and on the album in EVERY OTHER MARKET IN THE WORLD, okay?
Look, let me just settle this arguement. It's on Hot Fuss and Sawdust, The track on Hot Fuss is the studio version. The track on Sawdust is just like a demo, not the finished track. There.
@831crank , i'm not going to say it again, look, in my hot fuss cd appears this version, but also i have the cd of sawdust and appears too, look at my channel, you can find that version too, and please before saying something just check it. I belive this is the UK version.
Brandon Flowers has recently stated in a Rolling Stone interview that this song is his least favorite Killers song, and he "wants to crawl under a rock" when he hears the song
it doessnt really matter to me how many people listen to it. my god, its music, if its good then its good and it has nothing to do with what type of people listen to it.
it get annoying when people are like " ohh that bands so mainstream " or "that bands has the gayest fans"
There's nothing better in the world, than listening to the killers. What more do you need? This is truly, insanely, perfect. Why are the killers not more known? There is really nothing better.
@rawwwralicious You know what, you're absolutely right. I loved Muse before,and now i'm greatly disappointed because muse has gay fans now. So yes, it's a great thing the killers are not more known. They have the best of fans right now.
its on both albums, the hot fuss version brandon uses an earlier singing style, more straightforward, more volume. In the Sawdust version he sings with a Lou Reed style, more vibrato as well as more airy. The instrumental aspect is the same, but he has changed up his singing style considerably with a significant influence from Mr. Reed.
@fcmaldonado yeah me too, he was so much more individual before. His solo stuff sounds more like the old brandon, which brings im sure brings us both great happiness.
This song replaces "Change Your Mind" as Track 8 on the UK and Australian editions of Hot Fuss. Check wikipedia. I live in the UK and have the album to prove it. awesome track.
i dont get it if this song is meant to be taking the piss out of ppl who listen to indie to be cool cos some of the songs on hot fuss could be considered indie
@ailss1 it isn't "taking the piss" out of indie kids. it's re-enforcing the passion for indie. the killers are an indie band. why would they make fun of their fans? think about it...
well then why on all song meaning sites does it say everywhere they're taking the piss? you can tell by the lyrics and the way he sings it that he's being sarcastic
I got it from the Black version of Hot Fuss which you can get used on amazon for about 5 bucks. As for online, I dont know. That may be the only way to get it. But its a great album with 3 more songs than the original. In fact I dont know why they use the blue Hot Fuss cover. Its not even on that version of Hot Fuss.
they rarely play this song live ive seen them twice 0 for 2 :/ i read in rolling stone that he this is his least fave song i was like :O i love this song lol
I just read an interview where Brandon Flowers said that this is his least favorite Killers song and every time he hears it he wants to crawl under a rock.
