  • I've not heard the original, I'm assuming it's the usual wishy-washy shite he does.

    But I quite liked that. I just wish Flowers could stop doing that thing where he sounds like every vocal he's doing is recorded while he runs up and down on the spot.

    • nice vocal spot

      it's like they stuck with the first take when he was just trying to work out how to sing it

      gazbid @bamos | 27 Mar '09, 16:51 | X
  • probably the best thing theyve done

    • Marissa Nadlers cover of Clairaudients is really good

      ThingsThatFly @too_black_too_strong | 27 Mar '09, 17:03 | X
    • hahahahha

      yes this is what I thought!

      plus he sounds like he is using auto-tune, infact it sounds a bit like the mae-shi doing their cover of Mylie Cyrus or what ever shes called, but without the pumping hi energy.

  • Woo, Hi-NRG!

    I can just picture him doing that foot stomp thing at the keyboard, pointing into the air.

    • i like the cover

      it's cool. they do aiite covers the killers

      lobotomypop @UnderYourBed | 27 Mar '09, 21:12 | X
  • you know if you hadn't told me what this was

    I'd probably have just thought it was another Killers song that was ripping off something I couldn't place

    soapy | 27 Mar '09, 21:14 | X
    • They've definitely made it their own,

      do need to give them that. Just 'their own' is such hollow predictable shit these days. Compared to the original it really is an awful song.

      Chris64 @soapy | 27 Mar '09, 22:41 | X
    • I'm not being elitist or anything

      That's just fucking crap, it sounds so lifeless and limp where as the original has a bit of passion and feeling behind it.

      captain_self_healer @soapy | 27 Mar '09, 22:54 | X
  • better than it would be the other way round

    i expect.

    thommo | 27 Mar '09, 22:45 | X
  • far

    • Jesus

      are you fucking deaf?

      blaizefm @Jamie_Summers | 28 Mar '09, 19:39 | X
  • this is fucking terrible

    embarrassing in fact.

    The original is a great song.

    ConcentrationFace | 27 Mar '09, 23:27 | X
  • christ that is awfull

    really bad. its totally devoid of everything, ther's like no emotion in it

    custardcreams | 28 Mar '09, 00:09 | X

      thommo @custardcreams | 28 Mar '09, 00:38 | X

  • I think it is terrible.

    I'm still quite angry thinking about how shite it is...The Killers have massacred it.
