I just thought this song was about trying to pick up a girl in a bar. Her old boyfriend had longer hair (for a guy) and his old girlfriend had shorter hair (for a girl). Since their taste ran similiar they should hook up. Really. I have no clue, thought it was about trying to hook up at a bar.........

Somebody Told Me- The Killers: I think Joshy's judgement is great! But besides the meaning, it is a GREAT dance song.

I have a feeling it's either he's just trying to insult his girlfriend's supposedly sissy-looking boyfriend... OR this song is about RELATIONSHIPS AMONG BI-SEXUALS.

aren't The Killers from Las Vegas? Heaven ain't close in a place like that... it might be how a rumor can be twisted in so many different ways when you're in a place like Vegas. I dunno. but it's still a great song.

I thought he was trying to insult his ex when he said "You had a boyfriend Who looked like a girlfriend That I had in February of last year" It seems like he's kind of trying to make fun of her by telling her that her boyfriend looks like a girl. I dont know, just my opinion.

This song is so disco! ;) It makes me wanna dance every time and when it played at a party last weekend the whole dance floor was full of people, it's a great high-energy song. Makes me think of the warm summer nights spend with my friends dancing at parties. The two beats just before every chorus just make you wanna sing along and those 80s synthesizers are great fun! I basically just think he's just trying to make fun of her new boyfriend who maybe looks a bit girlish (might be because of long hair or something), but I may be wrong.
