this song has so much meaning...lol the whole dancer, denser thing its dencer...the song makes no sense if it was dancer with dencer it makes all the sense in the world ans the message of the song is true...
IT IS DANCER! I CAN ASSURE YOU ALL! IT SOUNDS SAD BUT THE KILLERS (MAINLY BRANDON) ARE EXTREAMLY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THEY DONT THINK PEOPLE APPERCIATE THIS SONG! OR LIKE IT CAUSE ALL EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT IS IT DANCER OR DENSER?! PLEASE POST THIS MESSAE AROUND TO SHOW THEM THAT WE LOVE IT AND THAT WE UNDERSTAND WHAT ITS ABOUT! xxxxx post this on!!!!
omg you guys are like retarded. fyi i talked to brandon "the huge" flowers a week ago and he told me its dancers. btw someone pass me the lube he is sooo hottt...
Are we human, or are we dancer? Thats right: Not dancers, but dancer. Singular. The line, as the bands official Island Records bio points out, was inspired by a quote from Hunter S. Thompson, who once observed that America was raising a generation of dancers. What exactly did the gonzo god mean by that, and how did it find its way into the song?
yeah it is dancer. flowers said himself that the line was based off of a hunter s. thompson quote...be sure to check your info before you yell at all of us humans/dancers like we're stupid
People it's DANCER Brandon Flowers even said so in an interview. The author Hunter S. Thompson once asked is this generation one of dancers, and that's what inspired them to make the song bla bla bla etc. Jeez!
Ok. I have been a fan of The Killers since their first CD came out.. I really like this song also. I just really don't understand the music video.. It's like they relied on someone who is into big cats and bird clothing to make the video.. I am just a little confused. Where did their style go? I know they change every album and up until now they have been awesome changes.. Up until now.
I don't understand why everyone is critisizing this video. I like Brandon's movements a lot. Do you think he's a fan of Pulp? Some of his hand movement reminds me of Jarvis Cocker lol. xD
This video captures what the killers are about fairly well. If you think the vid is dumb then I promise you, you will become another disappointed casual listener when the next thing they do comes out.
I mean come on. Can you get more Killers than standing around in the dessert asking the age old question about what it means to be human, while the rest of the world scratches their head and wonders what the hell they are talking about. I love it. Keep it up Killers. Don't bow to popularity.
Amazing!!!! Injected with a techno beat and the age old question......What does it mean? Dancer/Denser..........well, my explanation for what it's worth........are we DENSER...than g.w. bush???
"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." :)
this cud b the greatest rock and roll anthem since like hotel california. free bird. stairway. this is rocks anthem. this song will be remembered for ever and ever
LORRYANDRA DONT YOU EVER TLK BAD BOUT THE KILERS! FUCK U U FUCKIN CRACK WHORE SLUT BITCH FUCKIN BITCH! and fuck carson daly for what he did to the killers fuckin loser bitch fag dickwad cum drinking butt slut. the killers are the greatest band ever. metallica. the who. rolling stones. nirvana all that has nothing on killers!

This clarifies that reads in Human DANCERS and non DENSERS
