  • Whether it is dancer (which I think it is) or denser, doesn't change the fact that this is an absolutely terrific song! By the way it is my favorite song.

  • are we human? or are we twatters!

  • It sounds like play back to me.

  • dont think so

  • its are we human or a we denser!!

    it makes more sense

  • haha it definitely is not, he's said specifically in interviews that it's dancer, it was inspired by a hunter S thompson quote about how our society is turning into "dancers". It's singular because he is equating "dancer" with "human", i.e., it's a species. You don't say "are we humans?", the singular form can apply to everyone. So, again, by make "dancer" singular to he is equating the two. About club culture, I believe.

  • OMG! Are people still talking about this! I can't believe it! Do your research and you'll find that it's dancer, ok? Full stop. It's dancer.

  • no he says "Are we human, or are we wankers?" ...... lol

  • The EXACT words from the Killers official website.

    Those familiar with the band's oeuvre will recognize their signature in the synth-heavy "Human," four minutes of sweeping, epic rock, on which Flowers sings: "My sign is vital/ My hands are cold/ And I'm on knees, looking for the answer/ Are we human, or are we dancer?" He says the lyrics were inspired by a disparaging comment made by Hunter S. Thompson about how America was raising a generation of dancers.

  • It is dancer,Flowers says so, in ref to Hunter S Thompston writtings & observations, & comment on a American society full of Dancers & kind rather than humans´´on my knees looking for the answer refers to the fact he took his on life.

  • Comment removed

  • He's soooooooo cute!

  • geniale!!!

  • actually its dancer.... if you read the interview by him he says "i dont feel i have to be gramatically correct"

  • Still i don't understand the comparison. Human or Dancer??

  • I think he wanna say that if we have free will (human) or are we just playing a choreography ( dancer. you know i think he means about destiny and all that stuff). Remember this is just my opinion.

  • dancers..

  • no, its "my hands are cold"

    and its not dancer, its denser (no feelings)

  • Well, he says 'Dancer' (no feelings)

    LoL.. Nice try though ;)

  • lol. no. really its Dancer. It even says on there website!!!

  • Dancer. Brandon said himself.

  • i no its dancer.

  • does he say "My ass is cold??? :0 Great song!

  • Oh you guys...get it right! The lyric "are we human or are we dancer" is a reference to a comment made by journalist Hunter S. Thompson!

  • ahhahahaha! No, it's dancer. That's the funniest interpretation I've heard, though =p

  • Was that supposed to be funny?

  • i love you the killers

  • Then I believe

  • i thought so too biggles, but brandon says himself it's "dancer" based on a quote from hunter s. thompson that america is raising a generation of dancers... as to why it's dancer and not dancers, brandon says he can do what he wants

  • yes you've got it exactly correct...Brandon even said he's quite offended by the mishearing people have heard and if used as an adjective is grammatically correct
