it would make more sense if he said denser but he says dancer.

Great tune by a great band. This is from wiki:

Debate raged across the Internet over whether the lyric said "dancer", "dancers" or "denser", a misunderstanding which elicited conflicting interpretations of the song's meaning.

On the band's official website, the biography section states that Flowers is singing "Are we human, or are we dancer?" and also says that the lyric was inspired by a disparaging comment made by Hunter S. Thompson, who stated that America was "raising a generation of dancers".


There's a longer but similar explanation here:

I just checked with my own panel of experts, Mr Brightside is still best one they ever did. Somebody told me close second.
And Hot Fuss best album they did. No returns.

Well take a holiday and a week or two not reading the news ron :)

I think the reason we come back so happy after a couple weeks switched off is cos we've spent 2 weeks not reading about how sh*t humanity is :) You can't change it anyway, humanity will always be sh*t. Be happy!

we're being mugged off it needs sorting!

we're being dragged into something people don't want its sick.

I know whats right & wrong & having these muslims forced into our lifes
to commit crime & rape young girls etc etc etc is wrong.

i just hope the ones saying its ok experience this but their locked away by
gate & key somewhere the ****s that they are

This is the 2nd time this has been MOOTED Plain on this forum.

"America is raising a nation of dancers." -- guy played by Johnny Depp in a movie.

It's a great quote because it's so obviously true and hints at something profound.

I don't agree with all you say Ron but you do have points but ease off a bit maybe.
YOu need to maybe help change things where you can but not obsess.
Reason I'm saying this is this a thread about an american pop band and you bring up .. you see :)

The way i have interrupted the song is that 'dancers' mean we all toe the line what the liberal elite tell us. We are all dancing to the same tune.

But honestly i think they wrote great lyrics and coundnt come up with something that rhymed.

It's time to start realising its not offensive to say muslims are killers.

because they are, to a large degree - Makybe_Diva your shocked look is exactly what
you've been brainwashed into reacting unfortunately -

i dare say theres very nice muslims that want to adapt to our western ways but unfortunately we're talking about 5 % 10% maybe? most want sharia.

anyway back to the music - good when you can link a certain religion to a band i
suppose Happy

Diva I have both, and do listen to sams town, but I find it a bit bland comapred to hot fuss, a bit going through the motions.
I read some story about the sams town cover and it was a bit random, like she was just there in a studio and someonme said "wanna put a sash on and stand outside a caravan" or something :)

Sorry Ron. I wasn't really shocked. I just like using that little shocked emoticon whenever I can. I now prefer it to this one Plain

That was my favourite for a long time.

I like this one too Mischief

I do like "when we were young" off it, it's a great song,I think the reason I donm't like it is it's trying to be like a concept album I think and fails? I don't mind concept albums if the work, but.. anyway thats my opinion :)

OK JC - Im gonna calm down, your right, things are out of my control so i'm
gonna at least try....i'll end up giving myself a heart attack at this rate Sad

Ron that's not what I'm asking,
I'm just saying take a breather, a week or two smelling the roses, get a bit of persperctive :)
That's not just to you, just general advice (that I'm too stupid to take myself).

The Killers are the biggest pile of w@nk imaginable.

Everytime I see that little b1tch of a lead singer trying so damn hard to be relevant and cutting edge I just want to rip off his stupid fkn moustache and feed it to him...sideways....whilst harvesting his own organs.

Hope this helps

I mean they try so pathetically hard don't they?

At least Bono knows the rest of the world thinks he's an rsole and is sort of in on the joke, but these Messianic-tw@t-rockers really think they're 'it' don't they.
