This is probably my second favorite Killers single after "When You Were Young".

Maybe it's just me but I'm super excited for the video. I have this weird feeling that I'm going to absolutely love it.

I'm really surprised that the SNL performance didn't spike this to a higher iTunes peak.

The instrumental reminds me a lot of STG's "Rainy Monday" and I guess the vocals kind of do too in that they are not good. I'm shocked this is doing so well though. I still like this, but probably not in my Top 5 Killers Singles.

The video and shock horror, they are STILL in a desert... Anyone would think they are from Las Vegas or something

This video is so f**king horrible. Maybe because I figured such a good song couldn't possibly be accompanied by on of the worst videos I've ever seen in my whole life.
There are so many dramatic moments in that song that lend themselves to better sequencing, editing, and shot variety that to waste it on full-length shots of him singing and RANDOM ANIMAL SHOTS is appalling on pretty much every creative and artistic level possible.
It looks like the band showed up, spent an hour singing the song once and dicking around, and they had to fill in all the blanks with terrible B-roll footage.

Do the lyrics really not bother any of you guys? "Are we human, or are we dancers?" lol the lyrics are actually "Are we human, or are we denser?" It does sound like he's saying dancer though Its "dancer". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_(The_Killers_song)

Either way, the lyrics are atrocious, Brandon needs to be slapped once again.
The song has really grown on me though, I'm interested in the rest of the album now.

The song has really grown on me though, I'm interested in the rest of the album now.I don't get it...I really enjoyed the lyrics on "Hot Fuss." The only ones I found really revolting were on "Indie Rock and Roll Star," which wasn't even on the U.S. edition. I'd kill for them to stop trying to recreate "Mr. Brightside" and do something as good as "All These Things That I've Done," "Smile Like You Mean It," "Change Your Mind," "Believe Me Natalie," or "Jenny." I always thought "Believe Me Natalie" should have been a single. What an underrated, fantastic song. Then again, maybe "Jenny" should have been before it, but the Alt. station I listened to played the crap out of "Jenny" after ATTTID.

Sales for this have been holding up really well. It's been just outside of the Top 20 on iTunes for weeks now. It's still gaining in national airplay thanks to sudden interest from some Pop stations and its growing placement at HAC. It's almost looking possible that this could blow up now, which I really hope doesn't happen. "Spaceman" is newer and a catchier, better single anyway.
