Never realised Mr Brightside sounds a bit like Pulp

Can hear the Common People influence. Think The Killers actually in general sound quite similar to Pulp.

(and I want Pulp pre-Common People to be struck from this thread! Compare all you like post Glastonbury 1995)

As a kid poring over the Pulp deluxe editions at the time when Mr Brightside was rife, I always thought Mr Brightside was a rip off of the finale of Like a Friend.

I say let him cook

Difference being that Mr Brightside is a good song

If you don’t like the killers you’re not a fun person imo

You might still not be a fun person if you do like them tho

Is “he doesn’t look a thing like Jesus” a reference to Michael Jackson at the BRIT Awards

“Somebody told me that you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year”

could be a Jarvis line, except he’d actually mean it, and then go on to either shag them both, or have a wistful dream about shagging them both, or hide in a closet and watch them shagging each other.
