    Mr. Brightside by The Killers.

    Really, anything by the Killers, but this one is so incredibly over played and it makes my brain hurt why anyone ever liked that song in the first place.

      Do you hate the song, or the killers/their version of it?

      Because I found a cover of it in the style of A7X that is probably the best version of it possible

        Both, but probably mostly just the killers.

        Reviewing the lyrics, yeah, def not a fan of the song and (what I see as) the under lying message. And messages like that in songs are fairly important to me enjoying them.

          That’s legit. I’m not a fan of the message necessarily (toxic monogamy is rather frustrating), but that version is just a massive ear worm for me

            Interesting. Iirc this is a song that’s supposed to be describing how shitty thoughts get in that moment before we know if a betrayal has happened. Supposedly it’s a song meant to bring awareness to how shitty we can be in those moments when invasive thoughts start to take over. Which that’s why it’s never confirmed in the song if the cheating is real or just feared

          The song is often misinterpreted. I would find an explanation of the dungsong by Brandon Flowers if you want to be less bothered by the messaging of the song, even if that is so not the only reason you dislike it

      The Killers are just so fucking… Boring. How do you go and have a name like “the killers” and be the most blah boring fucking music on the planet?
