Man i miss when they played this on the radio I remember the times when i was so confused over the lyrics and spent a while trying to interpret what it meant by boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend Good times
STOP I thought the lyrics were "somebody told me, you had a boyfriend, who looked like a girlfriend, and I had a plan you told me last year" (okay I never actually knew what that last part was) but when I watched this my jaw DROPPED.

I know this isn't the point of the song...but to me it sounds like he's singing about doing anything to get the attention of this one girl...only to be told she's dating his ex-girlfriend.
This song brings so many memories back. i know i am young but i grew up and still listen to songs from 70s- early 2000s. I wasnt raised on songs that were made recently.
Rocky Balboa anyone? I'm 26 and I remember I couldn't help but notice the huge change from watching rocky 4&5 and then seeing the change from Rocky's generation to his son and it was like having a time machine. I love the killers and have since then 🤓
I was 21 when this came out and I always thought he was saying “ everything’s closed in a place like this” back then we couldn’t get lyrics on demand!!😂❤
For some stupid reason, I did not carer for this song when I first heard it some time ago, but recently gave it another try, and now I love it! Go figure, but I do love The Killers and can't wait till they come to tour in San Francisco!:))
Lyrics felt like trying the next derivative party drug sold 'legally' in the UK; Narrator is trying to find the next one because they slowly become illegal as law enforcement classifies them "Somebody told me..." takes gossip about the next new drug through imagery of sexuality; boyfriend that looked like & girlfriend -- invoking relationships i.e. 'chemistry' as metaphor within the party scene to describe ecstasy derivatives. each new one is slightly altered chemically, not quite like that one but reminds him of the one from "February of last year" (suggesting valentines day) "rumor ruin my moonlight" a continued metaphor of party night life; the overall context of being high, partying and gossip/relationships. "ready lets roll onto something new" (drugs or hooking up) "heaven ain't close to a place like this" (high as a kite, or lack of, also suggests the scene is not innocent) "pace yourself...all I want to do is try" (going for it, taking more, getting high longer & dancing more) "Rushin' around" ('Rushing' is common UK slang for the Ecstasy high)
It's about writing a song. He's trying to name the track, and it's very difficult but someone when they heard it told him that the track he's writing sounds like the song someone else wrote which sounds like an earlier song he wrote in the February the year earlier. And him rushing around is him trying to figure out if someone actually ripped him and and scrambling to write a new song.
torbach dude. Thats gotta be some bomb lsd you were on when you wrote that. Im pretty sure the song is a about him wanting a girl who has a boyfriend, who is either literally or metaphorically a bitch, and the singer feels he is a much better choice.
Maybe it means exactly what I think… kind of hard for you to know one way or the other, if i never stated what i think it means…i just said i loved it…so kind of a weird statement. But i think i know what YOU mean, so I’m just busting balls🤪🤣🤣
“Breaking my back just to know your name” Wow that reminds me when I first met my crush and sense her name rhymed with mine I asked her if she was a stalker-
i was confused when i listen to this song at the 1st time in my car radio.... then finally i found this in youtube... just want to verify the chorus lyrics is the same as what i listen?! yes it is .... wth!
I saw The Killers in a concert in Seattle, Washington on 8/20/2022, and they shook the whole stadium when they sang this song!
My dad was there
@@beanpuf9192 I was there
wait so in the song was it saying his ex was lesbian
Haven't heard this song in years. Thanks for the memories.
you read my thoughts.
i was literally thinking that too
thnks fr th mmrs
+lps meatloaf productions yes
Even tho they weren't so great
See Wht I did there? I'll leave
Man i miss when they played this on the radio
I remember the times when i was so confused over the lyrics and spent a while trying to interpret what it meant by boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend
Good times
i still don't get it
+youdon'tneedtoreadthis I think it means that the girl he likes turned out to like other girls.
+CupcakeTrueOnYT I think she is just dating a really ugly boy
I'm here because I just heard it on the radio a little bit ago xD
I think it means like, the girl's bf looks like a girl. Like Justin and Selena.
STOP I thought the lyrics were "somebody told me, you had a boyfriend, who looked like a girlfriend, and I had a plan you told me last year" (okay I never actually knew what that last part was) but when I watched this my jaw DROPPED.
This was posted 8 years ago and it is still a great song today
It is

Oh my gosh I didn't notice this was by the killers, now another favorite song from them :3
Yeah, this is my favorite song as well. My dad also has this song on his playlist.
I love the song, but I absolutely love the line bring it back down, bring it back down tonight, I don't know why, it just sounds awesome :D
AloneintheLight96 yeah along with the rest of the song too. ^_^ I just love this song!!!
I love the line that goes Pace yourself for me I said maybe
baby please
Yeah, and I also have this weird obsession with that part where he says “maybe baby”
and I absolutely*
@@Brigand17 yeah thanks for correcting me, I'm not a English-native speaker.
Oooooh, it's "rumor ruin". I always wondered what the hell a "roomaroo" is.
it's a room made out of kangaroos
Oh, I thought it was "Aroma Room" like some kind of place where you smell stuff lol
Xenko Vence same here bro!
"get that god damn roomaroo out of my moonlight."
Xenko Vence 😂relatable
This song brings back so many memories from my childhood.
Saw them in concert and they performed this. Amazing!
Now sir, this is real music.
@Firecutter19 yep :D

+snow calano Yeah I kind of tought that too
you might just be right "somebody told me that you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year" so...
that's exactly my take on it tbh
Or....now hear me out, he accidentally dated someone he thought was a girl but turns out it was a man
@@dannychaos6006😂😂 plot twist
I feel like none of my friends have even heard of the song and if it ever came on the radio they would just change the channel but I love it
Agreed love my friends but they wouldn’t like the music I love it though
This song brings so many memories back. i know i am young but i grew up and still listen to songs from 70s- early 2000s. I wasnt raised on songs that were made recently.
I don’t blame you tbh better music from those decades
Still my favorite Killers song to this day
Mr. Brightside tops this one for sure
Well... Somebody told me that you got a boyfriend that looks like a girlfriend who looks like my sister
I'm gonna cry. After all these years, I still remember (most) of the lyrics, and it's still one of my favorite songs..
I've heard this song so many times and never knew the name until now and i love it!
Well what the hell else you think it'd be called lol?
This song has been stuck in my head for ages.
Rocky Balboa anyone? I'm 26 and I remember I couldn't help but notice the huge change from watching rocky 4&5 and then seeing the change from Rocky's generation to his son and it was like having a time machine. I love the killers and have since then 🤓
You guys are too funny.. The only reason why I read the comments
This song is a huge metaphor, it's actually about writing songs.
plot twist
Lol I see that xD
Sammy2rose
.....it is??
Blake Randolph haha
Sammy2rose You cant assume something like that UNLESS the songwriter said it himself.
i could listen to this for hours its so good :)
Me dancing to this song at 2am
The demons under my bed and my sleep paralysis demon: what da fug
La chanson commence à dater, mais toujours autant de plaisir à l'écouter !
I was 21 when this came out and I always thought he was saying “ everything’s closed in a place like this” back then we couldn’t get lyrics on demand!!😂❤
one of the best year when music still alive
2004 was a great year for music, movies and video games indeed
this song defines ouran highschool host club.
Haven't heard this song in years. Thanks for the memories.
Not a Killers fan but I like this song
These things happen
Me to
This and Mr. Brightside are their best and most famous songs
Same
Same as me I remember before my mum died she loved this song
High quality! thank you for not joining the 240p bandwagon.
this song defines ouran highschool host club.
In my head I was like "how in the world is this like Ouran?" But then it hit me. Somebody should make an AMV using this song
Litteraly NoLives its already been done.
I shall agree wit u
Yasss!👏👏👏👏
I don't know who you are but I love you
I remember when this song came out the killers have always been my favourite band and this is my favourite song out of all of them
Nostalgia sensacional
Somebody Told Me that the Killers were going to rule the world with this banger twenty years ago. Great rock is great for the soul.
This song is great. Tbh it sounds like he just found out his ex-girlfriend is a lesbian.
+Rainbow Sunshine Holy mackerel that is awesome!!!
Or maybe she's bisexual
More like trans. x'D
I think he is saying "your boyfriend is more if a bitch than my ex gf" "hit me up ill hit it better"
@@Fallen-Saint don't use that word, it's a fucking slur
Love this song. 2019. Reppin' home town Las Vegas. Props fellas.
This song brings back good memories
Interesting
I'm glad this is still on the radio :D
"Ready? Let's roll onto something new, taking its toll and i'm leaving without you" please listen to this part and you gonna cry, guys.
12 years later still a banger
Love this song !!

This is appropriately epic music to go with the strategy game that I'm playing on my Nintendo DS right now.
Even after humanity ends its still a banger
I love this song I'm happy that I found it.
what a powerfull song i love this group
Omg I love this song ^0^
Favorite line "Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight!"
Heaven ain’t close in a place like this…i love that line😁
Means more then you think brother
Maybe it means exactly what I think… kind of hard for you to know one way or the other, if i never stated what i think it means…i just said i loved it…so kind of a weird statement. But i think i know what YOU mean, so I’m just busting balls🤪🤣🤣
somebody once* told me
I don't always listen to the Killers but when I do, so do my neighbours ...
Still listening this song in ❤2018 ❤who else does ?
I'm sure this is everyone's favorite part,"Somebody told me, you had a boyfriend, who looked like my girlfriend, that I had February of last year."
arlon rivers nope...breaking my back just to know your name
not mine. Mine is breaking my back just to know your name.
Mine is pace yourself for me i said maybe baby please
Mine is, "never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight."
Mine is heaven isn't close in a place like this
Oooooh, it's "rumor ruin". I was always wondering what the hell a "roomaroo" is.
This song is a huge metaphor, it's actually about writing songs.
Why do I have tears in my eyes listening to this?
This song is fire 🔥🔥
Love this type of songs.
I LOVE THIS SONG SM THE KILLERS R GREAT 🖤
I know Maneskin version but i discover that it's The Killers just now... wow this is so good!
I’ve literally been singing “never thought I’d have rooma roo in my whole life” for 10 years.

youtube is my calendar now.
+CJ rocks the fuck does that mean?
LMAO

“WhO eLsE iS WatChInG iN 2o20?”
This song take me back to my senior year in high school class of 1995...when I was young
Måneskin did a cover of this song in XFactor Italy (and I love both version, but more the version of Måneskin😅❤)
That’s nice! To be honest, I like more The Killers’ version. I feel like it has a lot more energy. I love The Killers! ❤️
Yea måneskine is better
Just love this song!!
My favourite part is the drumming.
Thanks Maneskin for introducing me to this band. This is gold.
“Breaking my back just to know your name”
Wow that reminds me when I first met my crush and sense her name rhymed with mine I asked her if she was a stalker-
Haha cool
PLS
1:05 so catchy
I like this,100 for u
This song plays often in 98.7 alternative and 106.7 kroq
Thank you
2020 anyone?
This brings back memories.
For the longest time, I thought is said "I never thought I'd meet a Rumaru"
i was confused when i listen to this song at the 1st time in my car radio.... then finally i found this in youtube... just want to verify the chorus lyrics is the same as what i listen?! yes it is .... wth!
This song definitely put your mind to work...u lit have to decipher it😂🖤
👍🏼
I always thought he was at least doing a metaphor about horse race tracks-17 tracks, pace yourself, rushing around
Idk why this is still one of my favorite all time songs. Still jamming to this in 2023
Breakin' my BACK just ta know YOUR name!
