The Killers - Human OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO HQ

[str8tup]

I really like this song :)

[wiffnaffof]

why the hell would anybody think it was denser, thats just stupid

[supplantedbywind]

my favourite....

[johneastmond]

If in doubt, research it! Interview of Brandon commenting on the Dancer/Denser thing, ASCAP, lip read/visual proximity of facial features saying Long/short "E" and long/short "A", watching live performances, Watch videos others have posted with explanations,etc. Do I need continue?

[TheArquitectus]

[zachev2kool]

It's "dancer".

[forkme3]

ok i understand that, but, what does he mean when he suggests that we could be dancer? just a nice question not asking for any problems :)

[Spitlebug]

@forkme3

The idea is are we human or do we just behave like humans? Are we alive or are we automatons? Is what we as "humans" do reflect our humanity?

This is what the lyrics point to.

[TesslaBabii]

its, "are we human, or are we denser"

[monfootball]

no its really not

[Roadsiderose]

It was just a play on words for people with a sense of humor. Maybe you need to lighten up a little ? (and learn how to spell dictionary).

[christoid]

I'm gonna say that we're denser, since we don't achieve neutral boyancy with the ambient humidity. PS what the F was the problem with those two tool bags?? Clearly you were having a giggle, and for that I respect you.

[monfootball]

its not denser its dancer buddy

[lauriemayes]

..although... it IS mildly amusing reading ur silly discussions

[lauriemayes]

stop lookin 4 the answer & enjoy the sounds!

[lauriemayes]

it sound like "duncer" to me u nonces

[monfootball]

well ur wrong buddy

[christoid]

You are a real grade A dickhead.

Learn to laugh a little, asshole.

[monfootball]

well thank u

[Themuscle25]

The Men are Stupid...

I Am A Dancer....

:-D

[xtallyx1]

I decide, I am dancer.

[aapkostuum]

MAH BOI

[epergateop2]

Noun 1. dancer: individual, mortal, person, somebody, someone, soul

[sptsam86]

its are we denser... not are we dancer

[epergateop2]

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Flowers said that he was irritated over the confusion about the lyrics and also that fans were unhappy with the song's dance beat: "It's supposed to be a dance song, [the beat] goes with the chorus...If you can't put that together, you're an idiot. I just don't get why there's a confusion about it."[

[monfootball]

yeh it is dancer

[Roadsiderose]

Wrong. It's are we humid or are we denser! Please do us all a favor and invest in a hearing aid, ok?

[viserox]

listen fucktard its are we human or are we dancer

[Roadsiderose]

I beg to defer, dickhead

[epergateop2]

First, learn to spell!

dif·fer:,1. To be dissimilar or unlike in nature, quality, amount, or form. 2. To be of a different opinion; disagree. 3. To quarrel; dispute.

What are you "deferring" to?

de·fer:, 1. To put off; postpone. Procrastinate. 2. To postpone the induction of. 3. To subnit to the opinion of.

Could it be that you don't know what the fuck your're talking about? Get a dictionanary and subscribe to National Geographic! What are you, 12?

[DEANJORDANEGAN]

learn to spell

[monfootball]

take ur own advice

[viserox]

look it up its dancer

[MINIWOKS]

this is the gayest song eva

[Forensicsbaby]

this song is on my top five favorite songs

[DEANJORDANEGAN]

i fucking love this song

[markiza1]

yes, the lyrics are weird, but it goes along.

[kalilnoe]

I really like this song. :) The music video seems a little bit random though.

[ferdelance618]

I always thought he was saying "Are we human or are we denser?" It makes more sense to me but, Good song nonetheless!

[rotorite86]

This song is on repeat for sure. Amazing.

[KeeperOLight]

omg as im reading this i am listening to the song in my widows media player on repeat LMAO.. i love it its such a great song. it just sets a good mood.

[tknba23]

imagine if they got attacked by the tiger

....lol

[monfootball]

that is a mountain lion not a tiger

[epergateop2]

@ 3:43 there is a white tiger.

[musicmotif]

Correct me if im wrong...

is this song saying that we are "dancers" like we are just entertainment for a higher being?

or "dancer" like the reindeer and we're working for something/someone like the reindeer did to pull santa's sleigh?

[KeeperOLight]

well they had an interview where they said they didnt mean anything with the lyrics but more to make a great song to dance to... if u find your own meaning to it thats great stick it in there.

[ParadoxByDesign]

I take it to mean the asking the question of depth of understanding and comprehension (human) or just going through the motions (dancer).

[ClassicxXxSol]

Beautiful Song!!! I LUV THEM!!!!!!

[Th3TornOutlaw]

Isn't Dancer one of Santa's reindeers? hahaha. Great song.

[punkprincess63619]

e a r g a s m .

[EandM826]

i like that...its a TOTAL EARGASM!!

[lindakoala]

all i know is that at a spinning class this song rocks!!!! totally the best work out song lately....love it!

[charliemaverickny]

i love this video it's so different

[whymytie]

"peng peng" humans are the cancer of the world

[gabycponce]

Both! and you're soooooo "papi" Mrs. Richard Flowers... comeria você inteiro!!!!!!!!

[HumanDancer1]

A more powerful word that still rhymes with "answer" and would make for a more powerful question - Are we human, or are we cancer?

Do you see how easy it would be to write some lyrics that rhyme with answer and still provoke meaningful discourse?

[olyus1]

only ryhmes in american english, other wise answer is a deep "a" and cancer has a more nasal "a", and maybe that will stimulate discusiion

"lancer" ryhmes in all english, but differently in different dialects. it also could be given all kinds of meaning

[marijunasmoka23]

no man, no

just let them right the god dam songs ok?

[HumanDancer1]

I've always proudly been both human and dancer, I don't understand what he's geting at with this song - so devisive. Songs like this seek to create divisions amongst people. Why can't we be both?

What other opposites of human can any of you think of? I can think of other things further from human than dancer...

[marijunasmoka23]

dude shut the fuck up no one cares what u think or that ur a god dam dancer, this is youtube not a fuckin class room

[ducknuget]

human dancer has some problems and yeah the feather coat thing he shouldnt have worn that

[jkimgaheu]

i herd this song last night and i like it and i download it and listin like 5 times realy good music

[technologypeople]

Me too!  I heart this song

[HumanDancer1]

wtf this sucks so bad, definitely one of the worst popular songs of all time, who are the people who buy this crap and perpetuate it????- and why the hell does he have feathers stuck on his sportcoat? Holy hell, this is straight pablum horse mess. I can't make it to the end, maybe they'll explain the feathers at the end..but I won't make it to find out.

[christoffvadrogen]

You hate the song, however your screen name is HumanDancer. Ehem.

[technologypeople]

You are absolutely right, HumanDancer1 is bagging on this song but that person hates the song so that person should check their screenname before typing!!! Not to be mean but it's facts

[KeeperOLight]

i really dislike the Killers but this song is so amazing. I really hope they keep this up!!!

[KeeperOLight]

Are we human??? ... or are we dancer?...

[ferretAL]

i just lik the song, dont really care what it means...you gotta admit its a good song.;..beat..tune

[electrorocket3]

groovy. yes, i did just say that awsoeme word!

[ashers56]

i <3 this song!

[hundie66]

Although there are lyrical metaphors in the song and intriguing visualizations in the video...

The group has specifically stated in interviews. "it's just a song. the lyrics fit the music and beat. So ppl can dance to it."

If you find a message in it... you put it there...

Maybe instead of analyzing it... JUST ENJOY IT!

Wave goodbye

Wish me well... :-)

[jason1111122222]

this song is wrote to the book the Giver

[dopeythatme]

really?

[Rockstarlovingirl]

This song has to be one of the best songs out right  now. It makes absolutely no sense... but it has a good beat and i like it!!!!

[EandM826]

someone here wrote how the song is a metaphor. As if we move through life trying to choreograph everything and measure it as a perfect routine...I think . It makes me wonder what the human experience really is & what its supposed to be....

[Rockstarlovingirl]

That is very true

[shazzastwins]

as a 43 year old single mom of twins - this song makes perfect sense! :)

[carpeidiem]

what does this song meen

whats a dancer like huh?????????????????

but i love the killers :D

[sourpatchkids411]

a dancer is someone who dances. lol

[monfootball]

it means do we think for ourselves and do what we want or do we just follow a routine and not really live

[slasher9333]

2tru...2tru...

[marccrist]

are they human or are they clowns?

this song is like a bite on the lower parts.

a chinese torture on the radio

[clevlandman23]

check out my human me singing it

[Grimreaper905]

awsome!

[7FlamingYouth7]

absolutely the best

[1bears1suck1]

I love the whole feathers-on-my-shoulders theme for D&A. I can't wait for a video for Dustland Fairytale!

[7FlamingYouth7]

he's not talking about dancers themselves, just the routines. How they are thought out, and that they must be perfectly choreographed.

You are absolutely right.

[OfficialDeuGerAll]

voll das hamma lied. das hat einfach alles was ein gutes lied braucht

[AkshayJoe]

Dancer actually refers to the dancing puppets in a puppet show.

The song seems to say that are we humans or have we become lifeless, Heartless & Soulless like the puppets.This is the reason why in the beginning the lyrics goes-"Cut the cord"

Well this is my belief ...........post replies though if u think it ain't right

[pokemaniacdavid]

lol true but still dont get the cut the cord part i get my explanation its much easier lmfao XD

[7FlamingYouth7]

he's not talking about dancers themselves, just the routines. How they are thought out, and that they must be perfectly choreographed.

[poopdecksniper]

Awsome

[m4rkohm4]

totally gay xD

[Tribas24]

el video es malisimo xd

[daniellemrozek]

The is the best songs ever I love the band Killer.

[marccrist]

rubbish

[pokemaniacdavid]

ppl i can help u....why is he saying human? that doesnt make much sense either what hes saying is a race as in the human race and now lol the dancer race if u dont get it leave a comment on my page and i will futher explain it to you

[5015153a]

Not all of us have the mental capacity of a toothpick.

[shadowkon69]

!!! dude i friggin love this song !!!

[lauriemayes]

u guys talk too much. this is music! - just listen & enjoy!!

[ray619fan]

we r all not dancer we r human.........human dancers there thats wat every body is trying 2 say

[GodofHelp]

The lyrics have fans confused. Flowers sings, "Are we human? Or are we dancer?" "Dancer" is grammatically incorrect and doesn't make much sense. Some think it's actually "denser" but he has admitted to singing "dancer." It was inspired by Hunter Thompson, who said "We're raising a generation of dancers.

"That sucks a bit. Flowers said. People don't seem to understand. They think it's nonsense. But I was aching over those lyrics for a very long time to get them right."

[dawnsakura]

Every time I hear this song, I wonder if these lyrics were based on Goffman's Theory in Sociology.

My father was correct; this group emerged from the same city I was born and raised in!

[93Shortie93]

Goffman was the one that said that the status of the people are like their role in a theatre play?

[WrappedInDarkness94]

no way am i human.

dancer definately. 'tis what i live for, blocks problems. dance, no food, no drink, just dance away my cares

[orangutanman21]

When I hear this song, I feel as though I am about to puke. Seriously.

[Federock91]

troppo bella!!

[popstarwannabe94]

like half the ppl that listen to it r like, umm duh-- we're dancers...i'm like u r...i'm not...

[Piggygal45]

i love the killers! my fav song of their's is when you were young

[Newsport345]

Love the song and its stuck in my head!

[mythesfilmpjes]

jou're right!!

[tooleyrach]

hes saying dancer, its a quote from some geezer from years ago. read it in an interview with flowers. either way top fuckin tune!!!!

[WrappedInDarkness94]

dancers aren't manipulated. we make our own choices about lots of stuff. if you watch 2 different dancers do the SAME dance there will be a HUGE difference between the two. you can just say that dancers get manipulated. we have to do IMPROVISATIONS to pass any significant exam damn it! A dancer's life is completely different to that of a "non-" dancer. We have to eat really carefully, excersie virtually non stop, stretch, dance all the time, im not complaining, i love dancing. just done assume.

[solidsnakegirl]

he's not talking about dancers themselves, just the routines. How they are thought out, and that they must be perfectly choreographed.

[errinsmy1nonly4ever]

awesome songg[:

[XxspotproductionsxX]

wow captyeageretard.. you must have a lot of time on your hands to sit through a song and then take the time to bull shit talk it. get a fucking life....haha loser move out of your moms basement and get a life. fag haha

[captyeager]

Holy shit,,,,im bleeding out of my fucking ears, may god have mercy on there souls...a lobotomized kindergartner can utter more talents than these fucks...please please please go blow yourself and quit polluting my thinking space.

[monfootball]

wow umm if u hate it that much i got a suggestion for u DONT WATCH THE VIDEO a kindergardener could figure that out

[dyllaboy]

[selinaland]

[vrini7]

[welshmanryan]

best song ever lol

[Cavallis]

geiler song... erinnert mich aber extrem an Allein Allein von Polarkreis 18... seltsam :P

[tummy7890]

Human fo suureee

[BecksLissy]

brilliant song

[abdul2w3]

is it denser or dancer

[frankeyman]

Dancer

[djorcks95]

i know, it would make sense if it was denser but the killers are probably stoned

[monfootball]

dancer makes perfect sense

[djorcks95]

no it doesnt explain to me how? Because most dancers tend to be human but if it was denser it would make sense because he would be asking if we were more than just human

Explain how it makes sense?

[monfootball]

well it yeh dancers are human but(and i am just takin this from another comment but that is what it is) "dancer" is a reference to a Hunter S Thompson quotation. Thompson once said (I'm paraphrasing her) we are raising a nation of dancers, that is to say, puppets - people who don't think for themselves and allow themselves to be manipulated, most significantly by their own government, but by others as well.

[AkimboJoe]

Are we human?

Or are we dancer?

The age old question.

[meliZzaaCaZareS]

Social Studies Class somehow brought me here :D

[Seph250]

just discovered this song... awesome

[emma101renee]

[livutube]

Hell Yeah!

[ponysare4eva101]

[gotamensacertificate]

This track is just awsome...so is Mr Flowers!

[sparklepuff1531]

r we human or r we dancer? i love this song

[evilninjaape]

your so right

[Badelier]

Why did he put dead birds on his shoulders?

[AIrons2]

they are ww1 and earlier officer shoulder pads for european forces

[UtahMan112]

Made in Southern Utah. Brandon flowers is from Utah

[raeeees]

He is saying Dancer, which makes plenty of sense if you take the time to think about it. He is asking if were human, having the ability to think for ourselves, or if we are dancers. Dancers have a choreographed dance, and are told what to do. So do we have the ability to make our own decisions, or are our lives choreographed, meant to be? I Personally think its amazing. If you agree, copy and repost this. Everyone seems to get it backwards... which makes me very sad.

[BryManInc]

I wasn't aware that all dance was choreographed. I realize he is saying dancers -- but this explanation doesn't work for me. :(

[Dami0n]

LOL thats a ohrwurm.... geil :D:D:D:D

[Raadok]

One of my favoriets. Thats a 'Ohrwurm' that means it will stay in my mind for ever...

[esquelet1981]

siempre pensé que este tio tenia pluma ... el video lo confirma

[PinkLadie007]

glad to see he got rid of his mustache for this vid

[roelzi]

hey malina...na alles klaerchen? ist auch ein cooles lied. hast es bestimmt schon gehoert.... ;-)

also cooles chatten

lg

kai

[kateyboo9]

Nice video. this is my favorite song over. thank you for putting it on youtube. <3

[strongtoothpaste]

Cheers, GodBless x

[momer1]

love it !

[inga620]

he's definitely saying "dancer". just a comment- if he had even wanted to say "dancers", he would have said "answers" too, to make it rhyme.

[TrEyBrEwEr1991]

very spettakulos!!

[plokmi4]

i like the song, but the singer looks like a total pr1ck in those clothes

[monfootball]

good song

[Carnibald]

A very talented group, maybe I shall buy one of their album. Very cool song , although similar to the 80's !^^

[Roadsiderose]

This dancer/denser argument is becoming tiresome. Anyone who thinks he's singing "denser" needs to get their hearing tested. Talk about dense!

[XxsweetiexX98]

For sum reason.. I acually like this song :P
