Yes, but *not good* -- there are (completely individual and biased) standards to be upheld here.

It's a nice pop song, I don't know why some of you guys are all bent out of shape over it!

As opposed to...sucking stray bits of balls?
Well it was a joke, fans of the killers aren't good with those by the looks.

beyond that, i wonder why the killers got so huge, in general.what about that crappy 'imarobot' band, why didn't they get big?were they like six months ahead of the trend?pop culture is so fucked.
i also wonder if hot hot heat sell a lot this time 'round...any predictions on them?

I just realised that Mr Brightside = Shed Seven covering 'What Do I Do Now' by Sleeper, with slightly different lyrics.

KROQ mostly sux0rs monkey balls, but "Indie 103.1" here has pushed them to improve a bit. I got lucky on that pull though - coulda come up Papa Roach, Linkin Park, and that contemptible MCR/The Used cover of "Under Pressure." Which last track provides the double-whammy of performing two bands' worth of bukkake job all over one of the all-time great singles and making me loathe myself for scorning it since it's for such a good cause and all (yes, part of that good cause is reminding the world that MCR and The Used still exist, but still...)
There is a handy "last 5 tracks played" widget on the KROQ site though, so fun for the whole family.
But why are we having this conversation, anyway? "Mr. Brightside" isn't even the best song on Hot Fuss. (As all right-thinking people agree, that honor goes to the exuberantly shameless Cure knockoff "Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine.")

but what I was referring to
3. "Jenny Was a Friend of Mine" > "Mr. Brightside" (or "Somebody Told Me" or "Smile Like You Mean It")

"Unlike Starsailor, The Killers are perfect candidates for a Lu Cont makeover, perhaps because they sound like they should be making dance music instead of rock anyway, as the great-hooks-in-search-of-a-point conundrum of "Somebody Told Me" aptly demonstrates."
