Yeah i don't think they're really wanting for fame sure most ppl probably know them for their earlier hits but id say theyre still quite popular regardless with these last two albums
its funny cos i first heard this years ago but only just now did i notice the ending. I took him kind of seriously but also thought he was a bit of a douche. Now i see that was the point 😂
haha so true! I adore him btw, but yeah: he looked out of place trying to be a 'ladies man' among all those ladies... he's just too sweet to pull it off. Sexy yes. But sweet.
@Drupiter being masculine isn't wrong, but such ideas can make men think displaying emotion is 'unmanly' or being an agressive dick is ok. Kinda like what you just did.
My husband would sing this to me all the time. He passed away 2months ago oh how I wish I could hear him sing this one more time. I just have memories now.. RIP Dustin love you always
The Killers should have made this a 15 minute song so we wouldn't have to replay it as quick. This is one "killer" song I have played 12 times in a row. Just can't get enough ... these guys are sensational.
Yes! That's the best part of this song. I was so pumped by it and then I saw the video and I was like, oh, it's ironic. But also...no I'm also still totally pumped. Brilliant combo
Okay, I just need to put it out there, now that I'm obsessed with the Killers and basically addicted to them, I now know how I got here. I cannot believe I had never heard of the Killers only a month ago! I'm so naive. Please forgive me for my stupidity guys.
My older brother just passed away early this morning... One of the last things he our group chat was this song... One of his final sayings he would say is, "I'm here for a good time, not a long time!" And then usually blast this video. Even the night prior his passing him and I were just sharing some beers and herb, and the highlight of the night was when he requested this video which he started dancing and singing to. I'm completely heartbroken right now but one of the only things that stop the tears is blasting this video in his true showmanship nature, he would want the party to continue because you never know when it's your time.... 🥺
Big love!!!! All the very best, nothing else to say from one stranger to another. Much love and sad to read your message on here. Hope everyone will be ok! Xx
Kitty McRatSlayer dude totally thought the same but I gave a few more listens and there’s that synth that sneaks it’s way through the whole way that has to be 80’s!!
Yeah i'm a child of the 70's/80's & am rarely impressed by today's music. But this one really got my attention & is right up there with the best songs from my childhood.
Being an amazing man is about being better than your former self, not about being better than others. About having confidence in oneself and self esteem. If I have a friend that lacks faith in himself I get him to listen to this until he’s confident but not get too carried away.
This is my 5 year old sons' favorite song. I tell him that it's good to feel invincible on the inside but to remain humble and gracious, and treat people with respect!
Man I don't know how to explain it but this song is the sound of Vegas. I grew up in Vegas and this song gets me nostalgic/ homesick every time I listen.
I swear this song brought me back to life, I was able to set my self free from my last alcohol relapse, I'm going 4 years + sober and every time I doubt of my self no matter what the circumstances are, I play this fuckin anthem and always overcome my problems, I am the fuckin man, thank you killers you literally saved my life !!
My 85 year old Dad died 3 years ago.Clearing out his house broke my heart. Found a Killers CD.My brother told me he loved them.Cheered me up no end. The Killers don't grow old.They are immortal.
Francis Begbie let me get this right, your dad was about 73-74 years old jamming to the killers?...either you're making this up or you had one of the coolest fathers ever!!
Having lost my dear father too, your post really touched me. Your Dad must have been an amazing man!! I bet he's grooving along to this where ever he is. The Man X
One of the greatest songs ever produced. It explores the line between confidence and hubris, which is where the power of the video comes from. As soon as I heard "...I go nothin' to learn" I started to hear this in song in a different light. Watching the video more clearly shows the downfall of each character because of that moral error. In spite of that, when I walk down city streets and feel like I'm ready for anything, this is the soundtrack playing in my head. The most kickass song ever made, IMHO.
Yeah! I found this song while trying to come up with a playlist of similar songs. I started with REM's Wakeup Bomb: ruclips.net/video/ff7OY8kgjvM/видео.htmlsi=jBg4Szv1XvU0gW0c
Yeah, I know it's supposed to be ironic but the song speaks to a lot of truths of masculinity. If you have a strong confidence based on competence and experience -- then you really are the man. Other men will defer to you and women will want you.
Hate when people judge others on what brings them to good music..if you found this song....dope doesn't matter how you found we all here together so enjoy
This song honestly just makes me want to drop everything and start doing push-ups until fail, such a shame this wasn’t put into their workout playlist.
I think its more like a sly reference to that typical male attitude we all boys have, like 'yeah I'm the fucking man I'm so great' and then the next minute we do some stupid shit. hahaha
I saw the drummer in the interview, and he said this: Drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr. stated that the song's lyrics were "largely about how when we were younger we felt invincible. What it meant to be a 'man' in your 20's. Sort of your chest out, the breadwinner, nothing could stop you, invincible sort of thing. It's sort of tongue-and-cheeking that, how that is not really the point of being a man at all. It's actually more about compassion and empathy."

I'm the man I don't give a damn I'm the man
When I first heard this song on the Vice trailer, I could have swore this was some sick track from the late 70s that escaped me. Perhaps Bowie or Queen. It gives me hope that music like this is still being created.
Don't you love it when a music video actually does something to re contextualize a song instead of just being either a bunch of random visiuals or just beat for beat what's happening in the song
@@russiaprivjet Nah, the level of hubris in this song is absolutely off the charts. Right hand to God? First in command? You don't give a damn? What's great is that it's either the anthem of invincibility, or of the most arrogance possible with their head so far up theirs, or both simultaneously. Such a great song 👏
Viscous Porridge Speaking as an atheist, "Go to hell." If you're going to jump on Brandon Flowers for being a Mormon, go jump on everyone who follows any religion and call them a fruitcake to their face. He's not a hateful fundamentalist so don't judge him.
“I got gas in the tank, I got money in the bank, I got news for you baby your looking at the Man!” I really feel that every time my direct deposit hits
This kinda music is not my normal cup of tea, but I heard this on Sirius and could not shake it. The words to this song are just epic. incredible lyrics.
He's a great talent, I'm in my 60s and I've seen few performers with his and the bands creative skill. The little voices in here criticizing him are just petty minds, do nothings and know nothings who sit on the internet spreading the bile they carry around inside themselves due to their own lack of achievement.
*Far* from the only band, lol, seriously, I can name dozens. Usually it's just the result of someone being trend-followers (like, you know, going from emo music in the 2000's when it was super hip to pop now when it's super hip?) but there's also a lot of bands that change genre just from artistic intent. I'm more inclined to believe The Killers are of the first variety, though.
Purely everything that make a good killers song: Solid vocals Great guitar work Brandon flowers. Catchy basslines and tasty synths Solid comeback in my books
Crazy as it may seem ..this song reminds me of my father now that he is divorced from my mother. He finally got out from her and came into his own! He was devastated for so long...not so much now. He found his mojo! God bless him!
Was on the way in to work today. In a crappy mood about various stuff I have going on right now. This song came on Sirius and for the whole commute I kept hitting repeat. By the time I got to work I was feeling more motivated than Tony Stark.
Brandon Flowers is a work of art. Preserve him.
Joana Catbagan He is!
A National Treasure
He's just an Ian Curtis wannabe, and then a Bruce Springsteen wannabe, and now a David Byrne wannabe. He doesn't have an original bone in his body.
So he wants to act like his idols, what's the big deal
He's the man! 💪
It's crazy how listening to a song can change the way you feel
I think that's the entire point of a song.
Das real
Facts💪🏾
IKR
I love it!
This song has a double edge. It can be sarcastic or uplifting!!!! I adore it!
@Charming Billy i'm not so sure about that
Absolutely. Judging based on the video, this song is about pride coming before the fall.
to me playing this song makes you feel stronger
@@SilasZoeBell you make a good point....w/o the video this song is a whole other perspective.
Agreed
The confidence boost is INSAAAAANE
For real! I'm pretty introverted but this song makes me wanna kick doors open and demand some answers 👇
I first hear this song yeara ago during the ending episode 2 of Stargirl... This song is dope!
YOU ALL KEEP ME MOVING! I WILL NOT EVER BE STOPPED. MY 1% ERS UNITE.
This song makes me fell like a strong independent man, and I'm a woman!!!

Anyone else excited The Killers are back?!?!?!? 😊😊😊
Harrison Frone they never left
The killers is awesome AWESOME
Harrison Frone I AM!!!!
Saw them in Atlantic City on 6/10/17.... WONDERFUL!
as fuck actually
If this were the 70s, the Killers would be a supergroup everyone in America would know.
👍
lol they are pretty universal as far as modern rock bands go
Yeah i don't think they're really wanting for fame sure most ppl probably know them for their earlier hits but id say theyre still quite popular regardless with these last two albums
@@rachelrachel9152 Regular normal yuckity-yuck Joe Lunchpail rhubarbs in Paducah don't know the Killers from Phyllis Diller
The view count amounts to roughly one fifteenth of the human population of the Earth.
Amazing how a song about arrogant delusion can be so uplifting
Or a confident dude that isn't a douchebag. Listen to it without watching the video.
@@jacktorrance2633 Brandon’s own words, he wrote the song about a time in his life when his ‘confidence’ was a liability,
@@jacktorrance2633BINGO.... People soft AF
Delusion is a word used by those who are unaware of the principal of mind over matter.
its funny cos i first heard this years ago but only just now did i notice the ending. I took him kind of seriously but also thought he was a bit of a douche. Now i see that was the point 😂
He's acting like a tough guy when in reality he is the sweetest person on this world
Santiago Hernandez Tough guys can be sweet
Santiago Hernandez hes coming out of his cage
haha so true! I adore him btw, but yeah: he looked out of place trying to be a 'ladies man' among all those ladies... he's just too sweet to pull it off. Sexy yes. But sweet.
Jared Diaz And he's been doing just fine
The song is toungue in cheek
This song is suppose to poke fun at egotistical men, but really it pumps me up so much that i wanna act like a egotistical man.
@Drupiter being masculine isn't wrong, but such ideas can make men think displaying emotion is 'unmanly' or being an agressive dick is ok. Kinda like what you just did.
@@April_a26 tell him
Drupiter there’s a difference between being masculine and egotistical. This video doesn’t poke fun at masculinity but egotism like sum Moner stated
😂😂😂FACTZ!!!

My husband would sing this to me all the time. He passed away 2months ago oh how I wish I could hear him sing this one more time. I just have memories now.. RIP Dustin love you always
Wish u all the best in the future :)
You're very lucky to have been married to him. He was in fact The Man. 👊🏻
Long live King Dustin
Dustin .. is the man !! Sorry for your loss!! God bless
You didn't lose him. He's up there waiting on you.You're the WOMAN to the MAN!
For me THIS is The Killers best Song. Powerful Filming, Music & Lyrics.
This song has that 80's great vibe!
Gabriel Meneghetti that’s a Disco 70’s sound ;)
And Bowie's "Fame"
my thoughts exactly🤩
that's actually 70s
it's a vibe
The Killers should have made this a 15 minute song so we wouldn't have to replay it as quick. This is one "killer" song I have played 12 times in a row. Just can't get enough ... these guys are sensational.
Only 12 times?
@@Sfmpg where the man dunks on all the assholes who betrayed him.
@@garystinten9339 Good idea 😅👍
Currently re-Played it for about 15 times
@@custodeon 😆 😆
He is too cute and pure for me to see him as a tough guy. I just imagine lots of Brandon giggles.
Leila Saleh he'd be lady killer greaser not tough guy
that's why they beat him up and kicked him out at the end, he giggles too much :(
yesss exactly my thoughts!
Instant classic. Never gets old.
I can't get over how incredible this song is. Everything about the composition to the singing to the production is top tier. And it's so FUN
No doubt
I know it's probably meant ironically . But, this song gets me pumped up.
Andrew Jones
"You're The Man too!"
Yes! That's the best part of this song. I was so pumped by it and then I saw the video and I was like, oh, it's ironic. But also...no I'm also still totally pumped. Brilliant combo
tongue in cheek
Doesnt everybody feel like he’s the man sometimes 😃
I know I do 🤣
SAME
I don't know how I got here but boy am I glad that I did, this song is so incredible.
Okay, I just need to put it out there, now that I'm obsessed with the Killers and basically addicted to them, I now know how I got here. I cannot believe I had never heard of the Killers only a month ago! I'm so naive. Please forgive me for my stupidity guys.
I forgive you. But only you.
Ella McKeag all sins are forgiven
I had the same feeling. It’s been on repeat in my mind for hours now. It’s crazy. Loved this song!
cause you are the man, that is why
This song is the epitome of confidence!
It's not though Hannah. Watch the video of the song. It's man's folly. Always thinking they're the man. When actually they're not

Luna the killers never left
True, but I'm talking about back with a new album
Ahh sweet a Killers fan with the same name as me :D
For me it been so long like a thousand years
When I first heard this song I thought it was a jam from the 80’s I missed.... which is a huge compliment.
I may have even thought 70's. Reminds me of late 70's disco era. Could picture Travolta jamming to this.
Kitty McRatSlayer dude totally thought the same but I gave a few more listens and there’s that synth that sneaks it’s way through the whole way that has to be 80’s!!
same here
Yeah i'm a child of the 70's/80's & am rarely impressed by today's music. But this one really got my attention & is right up there with the best songs from my childhood.
Well this song has a sample of Kool & The Gangs Spirit of the boogie
I love how the video adds depth and meaning, while the song alone works in such a different way, and a great one too.
I know the song's supposed to be mocking the singer's earlier years, but hearing it gives you such a sense of invincibility... almost.
Agreed 100
Totally
It’s my everyday anthem
Brandon says he is mocking but he's not sure, he also said it's good put some air in your chest.
Is it? I just found this song in Feburary 2019, g didn't know it was referencing Brandon's youth. Is it just Brandon's? Or The Killers younger years??
Guys, this is honestly the best way the Killers could start their album👏💕
SO glad this doesn't sound like the music we hear nowadays. Long live'em Killers
I love how extra he is in these videos.
Watch them live if you can it’s fucking amazing. Just saw their 20 year Hot Fuss residency at Caesar’s. Truly amazing show.
Being an amazing man is about being better than your former self, not about being better than others. About having confidence in oneself and self esteem.
If I have a friend that lacks faith in himself I get him to listen to this until he’s confident but not get too carried away.
this man never get old holy shit
he meets weekly with billy jo armstrong.
Sam Beatty As well as Rivers Cuomo
He's 36 and looks it tbh. Not that it's a bad thing, he looks great.
Unbelievable. Beautiful man.
@@serenan920😉
This music video really proves how these lyrics were not meant to be taken seriously. Brandon, you're still wonderful, wonderful.
You feel like a total boss walking around with that song in your head
Agree!
Like a total *man
Why? Its about his EGO being bigger than what he really is. He is a nobody, but thinks he's the MAN. No hate, just my point of view.
Even though it's meant to be satirical, it still gets you pumped.
Similar feelings here
I listen to this everyday during my commute, and i feel like a total boss
This song is absolutely genius. It just makes me smile every time I hear it!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm the man, come 'round
No-no-nothing can break, no-nothing can break me down
I'm the man, come 'round and
No-no-nothing can break, you can't break me down
I got gas in the tank
I got money in the bank
I got news for you, baby
You're looking at the man
I got skin in the game
I got a household name
I got news for you, baby
You're looking at the man
When it comes to Friday, I always earn
But don't try to teach me, got nothin' to learn
'Cause baby, I'm gifted, you see what I mean?
USDA certified lean
I'm the man, come 'round
No-no-nothing can break, you can't break me down
I got gas in the tank
I got money in the bank
I got news for you, baby
You're looking at the man
I got skin in the game
I don't feel no pain
I got news for you, baby
You're looking at the man
Who's the man? Who's the man?
I'm the man, I'm the man
Who's the man with the plan?
I'm the man
Who's the man? Who's the man?
I'm the man, I'm the man
Who's the man with the plan?
I'm the man
I'm the man
Ooh
I'm the man
Ooh
I got gas in the tank
I got money in the bank
I got news for you, baby
You're looking at the man
I got skin in the game
Headed for the hall of fame
I got news for you, baby
You're looking at the man
Right hand to God
First in command
My testimony
When I take the stand
Who's the man? Who's the man?
I'm the man, I'm the man
Who's the man with the plan?
I'm the man
Who's the man? Who's the man?
I'm the man, I'm the man
Who's the man with the plan?
I'm the man
I don't give a damn
I'm the man
Thank you for the lyrics
@@kulbirsingh4997 You're welcome
That feeling that passes over you when you realise the notification is a music video, not a lyric video, interview or behind the scenes, haha.
Chantel O'Farrell I know my face dropped when I saw the video.
“USDA certified LEAN!” Best part.
Don't forget FAT!
He missed a prime opportunity lift up his shirt and slap his abs
uwldluvme21 god if he did, i think other girls and i would probably explode.
CJP he is a certified g tbf
what does it mean
When I first heard this song on the Vice trailer, I could have swore this was some sick track from the late 70s that escaped me. Perhaps Bowie or Queen. It gives me hope that music like this is still being created.
There is an reference to David Bowie at 3:17 :-)
Can you please suggest me similar songs?
Would love to hear many like these.
Simply great
The Killers... Seriously... I'll admit this is good but they have churned some of the most unoriginal bullshit in the early 2000s.
Trust me same reason I’m here
Crazy how I’ve never heard this song. Well up there with my top 10 🎉
Don't you love it when a music video actually does something to re contextualize a song instead of just being either a bunch of random visiuals or just beat for beat what's happening in the song
Honestly it makes sense but it's kinda boring
@@eterty8335 the video is pretty sad. it’s completely different from what the song would have you believe
@@russiaprivjet Nah, the level of hubris in this song is absolutely off the charts. Right hand to God? First in command? You don't give a damn?
What's great is that it's either the anthem of invincibility, or of the most arrogance possible with their head so far up theirs, or both simultaneously. Such a great song 👏
@@jjbarajas5341 hey genius… did you see the whole video or just listen to the lyrics?
@@russiaprivjetHow is the video different from the song? The song isn’t actually about being “the Man” the song is satirical.
The killers simplemente lo mejor como siempre 👌
You know I don't speak Spanish! In English PLEASE!!
She said something like: The killers simplemente lo mejor como siempre
Stephen Bayliss Faudrait pas ecrire en francais, tu serais encore plus perdu!
alfonso vazquez haha lol
+Stephen Bayliss I hate to break it to you but there are more languages than English. Pendejo
It's not a Killers video if Brandon isn't dressed as a cowboy at some point.
They are from vegas so.
Werd.
So Mr Brightside isn't a Killers video?
I did not expect to see the cover of a Woodkid album in the omments.

Speaking as an atheist, "Go to hell."
If you're going to jump on Brandon Flowers for being a Mormon, go jump on everyone who follows any religion and call them a fruitcake to their face. He's not a hateful fundamentalist so don't judge him.
Im a woman and this song gives me so much confidence that i feel like im the man!
You don't have to be a man to be THE man, you know what I mean? lol
@@LotselanceYes
When this song is on, you become The Man. Simple as that.
Omg it looks lik we both The Man
We are all THE Man.
This is the ultimate Dad Anthem. I play this everytime something breaks in our home my wife can't fix and I simply say "I got this honey"
❤❤❤
haha, I sing this when that happens, too. 🤣😂
My wife just rolls her eyes.
Hahaha, I need to do that from now on. ^^
Awesome
“I got gas in the tank, I got money in the bank, I got news for you baby your looking at the Man!”
I really feel that every time my direct deposit hits
Imagine if this just played as you started your car after filling up, too.

That is it my Man. Got to get those little wins every week. This song makes me feel like The Man™. I don't give a damn. I'm The Man.
This kinda music is not my normal cup of tea, but I heard this on Sirius and could not shake it. The words to this song are just epic. incredible lyrics.
Number one thing that every man must do, is to listen to this song!
This is the longest AXE commercial I've ever seen.

This song makes me feel like the man - and I'm a girl

I never thought I'd be excited to watch a biopic about Dick Cheney but here we are
George Lucas lmaooo!!!!’n
That's so fucking true.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
It’s making Dick Cheney cool 😎
Me: I don't wanna see a movie about Dick Cheney
Trailer: Made by Adam McKay
Me: ... What I meant to say was
This guy, is the man.
No one can point like Brandon Flowers does.

Lol
I just wanna say I appreciate your dedication to tag every point he does
Edgar Osorio-Loredo "The Man" but everytime Brandon points it gets faster
My oldest son listens to this in the morning to get ready for school ... whatever helps him tackle freshman year 😂
side note: I love it now b/c of him
your sons a walking legend
I love this
Tell him to add the wink and double gun fingers in the mirror! Pumps me up!
Lol. I’m listening to this song right now getting ready for my sophomore year of high school.
He's a great talent, I'm in my 60s and I've seen few performers with his and the bands creative skill.
The little voices in here criticizing him are just petty minds, do nothings and know nothings who sit on the internet spreading the bile they carry around inside themselves due to their own lack of achievement.
The killers is the only band where they go from one genre to another over the course of their career and I still love their music reguardless
Huggable Satan *Gorillaz*
Muse
*Far* from the only band, lol, seriously, I can name dozens. Usually it's just the result of someone being trend-followers (like, you know, going from emo music in the 2000's when it was super hip to pop now when it's super hip?) but there's also a lot of bands that change genre just from artistic intent. I'm more inclined to believe The Killers are of the first variety, though.
museeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ftw
Kings of Leon
Purely everything that make a good killers song:
Solid vocals
Great guitar work
Brandon flowers.
Catchy basslines and tasty synths
Solid comeback in my books
Sam Allen + western style
Sam Allen exactly!
I get that it’s just a tongue and check/joke song but I still feel like a complete badass when listening to this in my car
*FAME* chills every single time
Brandon really is THE MAN
just hope that they are all the man and stay together, so talented
Izzai Salad Bowl yes yes he is
I listen to this on loop on the way to job interviews.
Heard this at Taco Bell while interviewing - I got the job
😂😂😂😂
I grew three more chest hairs just listening to this song. Macho
Best comment!
Ryan Davis not trying to sound disgusting but my pubes grew an inch
I listened to this song more that 10 times
I lost 3 more from my head but not to worry; they reappeared on my shoulders. 2 on the left and the other on my right.
Well, mine grew specifically on my nipples so... Uh, I don't know, am I more masculine now compared to before?
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Mr. Brightside will always be The Man. I'm just another girl.
Andi Marki that's what somebody told me when I was young
iron rifle somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looked like the girlfriend that I had the February of last year.
Just another miss atomic bomb.
is Mr. Brightside Brandon Flowers?
Diggle Digloto Brandon Flowers is the one and only Mr. Brightside.
..one hell of a songwriter. To come back with a bona fide hit every time round. Truly up there with the greats.
Never had a song lifted my ego like this one did
Crazy as it may seem ..this song reminds me of my father now that he is divorced from my mother. He finally got out from her and came into his own! He was devastated for so long...not so much now. He found his mojo! God bless him!
Was on the way in to work today. In a crappy mood about various stuff I have going on right now. This song came on Sirius and for the whole commute I kept hitting repeat. By the time I got to work I was feeling more motivated than Tony Stark.
Maximaniac72, wow. Did you have even more better ideas then tony stark?
that is G-- D--- right! I always play this on a grey day
Te amo the killers! Viva México!
Así se dice 💕😍
Viva the kilers!
Rodol Guerra FUCK mexico
