Wow, Brandon sounds really subdued and melancholy and almost bored compared to the Weenie Roast version. Also, someone on there said that Brandon said he wrote this song because Andy thought he was a big-shot, but a lot of other people, including Brandon himself (in other interviews) said the song was about a guy he had a crush on in high school. That would make a little more sense, I think. "In a car with a girl, promise me she's not your world" fits the theory about the gay crush.
@helenabellamuerte The actual meaning of this song is sarcastic. The singer (Brandon Flowers) was bullied by a guy named Andy Messersmith in High School. (Not the baseball player.) Well now Andy is a gym teacher at the same school while Brandon Flowers is the successful man he is today. So the meaning is sarcastic, and he's insulting Andy.
@IngloriousBear He just kinda ignored us. But he was a dick to us all the time. He will never be able to take but what he did to Brandon Flowers. A kid in my school actually got mad at Andy and said Andy your such a star and andy put him in a head lock and because of that Andy Messersmith got fired.
@aprilgirlalltheway haha I always liked this song but I just heard all this backstory (about the guy being a loser coach now and being fired/quitting after putting the kid in the headlock when the kid said 'andy you're a star') that has got to be the best revenge ever (for Brandon) just makes me love this song so much more. karma is a bitch when people are crappy.
@aprilgirlalltheway then scored double time for Brandon he's hot and famous. also that girl had to have been stupid (his ex) if she went with Andy over Brandon. bet she's kicking herself now.
3 minutes I am not regreting to have waisted. And I'll do it again
