Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Bass Chicks are Average	#1 by Bass Chicks are HOTTTT at Sep 16, 2005 at 4:43 PM EST
	I find it odd that Brandon would say this song is about the band and where they are when it was written before they had any success.

No Picture Mark Average	#2 by Mark Neishtadt at Sep 25, 2005 at 8:19 AM EST
	Its a very sexy song i agree

No Picture Adam Average	#3 by Adam at Nov 12, 2005 at 9:59 PM EST
	I love it.

No Picture Nick Wanna Be	#4 by Nick Maertens at Jan 5, 2006 at 11:47 AM EST
	I've very bad at interpetation(sp) but I just think he had sex with a woman, seduced her into it, then had no overall feelings. Am I bad?

No Picture TOM Lead Player	#5 by TOM at Mar 20, 2006 at 10:12 PM EST
	Great song Killers are awesome seems to me to be about going around to partys and gettin lucky or something.. not sure and then there this one party where he's getting checkout by a guy or something! i really have no idea

No Picture Teenage Riot Average	#6 by Teenage Riot PokerBAss at May 13, 2006 at 12:52 AM EST
	I love this song. But, still unsure what it means in a sense. Like a few of you had said, it seems to be about sex or around that theme, but also, the whole drug thing makes sense, too.

No Picture Rahil Wanna Be	#7 by Rahil Somebody at Jun 9, 2006 at 1:29 PM EST
	it's about drugs, particularly E's, you're body's shakin, you need more, can't be arsed explaining... if you've ever taken E's you'll know where i'm comin from

No Picture krystal Wanna Be	#8 by krystal martin-hart at Jun 23, 2006 at 2:34 AM EST
	SEXY.......

No Picture Nyle Average	#9 by Nyle Leddy at Jul 24, 2006 at 11:37 AM EST
	This is my favorite Killers song. It's just so fun to listen to, and Brandon sings it very sexily. I've always thought it was "Get your eyes off of my PRIDE tonight, though." That would make more sense.

No Picture 19.07.2005 Average	#10 by 19.07.2005 at Aug 25, 2006 at 2:37 PM EST
	Extremely happy song, how come only one has commented? This song is so happy, sexy, and just takes you in a new direction. Love it!

No Picture jUsT_tHe_PoStAl Wanna Be	#11 by jUsT_tHe_PoStAl_SeRvIcE at Sep 30, 2006 at 10:32 AM EST
	I love this song.. but to me the whole drugs meaning doesn't click. I do think it's just about partying and having a good time.. The drug thing has just been added =/ I think you can associate anything to a song if you try hard.

No Picture Jesse Wanna Be	#12 by Jesse at Nov 18, 2006 at 1:34 PM EST
	I love this song. I can listen to it all day. But what the hell is it really about?? I love Brandon Flowers too!!!

No Picture Kay Wanna Be	#13 by Kay Grøtbekklien at Nov 23, 2006 at 11:30 AM EST
	Their album came out March 04' and he proposed in October 04' so probably not. I heard someone say it was about sex though. I could see that. Finding that special someone and sharing that special moment with them. "But I've been waiting this whole night But I've been down across the road or two But now I've found the velvet sun That shines on me and you"

No Picture Patrick Wanna Be	#14 by Patrick at Dec 20, 2006 at 3:20 AM EST
	I also thought that the line was "get your eyes off my Pride", and not Bride, as in, someone is checking him out at a party but he doesn't need to "satisfy" anyone tonight. but at the same time, the whole thing that june_star_99 wrote does make sense...

No Picture Paul Wanna Be	#15 by Paul at Jan 12, 2007 at 9:34 AM EST
	Love. This. Song. Brandon has explained though that this song is about where the band feels they are right now. It's all about being On Top of the world, the industry... everything. Full of confidence, even a little cockiness. Nevertheless, awesome song, full of sex appeal even if it's not about sex :)

No Picture Owen Wanna Be	#16 by Owen Ellis at Jan 15, 2007 at 5:34 AM EST
	okay, i defenitly think this song is the hottest song on the cd. it's really sexy, really upbeat The day is breaking, we're still here Your body's shaking, and it's clear You really need it, so let go And let me beat it, but you know those lines just scream out 'sex' to me. and even if it's not about sex, the whole song is incredible!

No Picture Pat Average	#17 by Pat Mangan at Mar 1, 2007 at 3:30 PM EST
	Anyone heard the version of this song where they tacked part of Pink Floyd's 'Time' on the end? You should. It's awesome.

No Picture Connor Average	#18 by Connor Larkin at May 30, 2007 at 9:54 AM EST
	I think its about Partying and sex. I loooveee this. My heart Skips a beat Just because Mr.flowers sings it soooooo hot. Imagine he is singing it to you. Ohhh BOY! hehe.

No Picture ben Lead Player	#19 by ben Tee at Aug 19, 2007 at 9:03 AM EST
	Wow. I love you, Brandon Flowers.
