The Killers/YMMV


 * Alternate Character Interpretation / Fridge Horror: "Bones" is not officially part of the murder trilogy, but consider this: it's about a guy trying to convince his girlfriend to go down to the beach with him at night, while "Midnight Show" is about a guy who takes his girlfriend to the beach at night and strangles her.
 * Oh, and the video was directed by Tim Burton.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: "Midnight Show" is about a Crazy Jealous Guy who murders his girlfriend and then goes driving around town with her corpse in the backseat, looking for a place to dump her body.
 * Ho Yay: A few of their songs, most obviously "Somebody Told Me", "Andy, You're A Star", and "Where The White Boys Dance".
 * The band themselves. Especially Brandon and Ronnie. Just watch the video for "Read My Mind" and pay close attention while they're biking through Tokyo.
 * Memetic Mutation: "Are We Human Or Are We Dancer?" "Dancer? don't you mean "Denser"?" "It's DANCER!"
 * Uncanny Valley: That... thing at the beginning of the Spaceman video. You know the one.
 * What Do You Mean Its Not Political: In "Tranquilize" the last lyrics are "with the Bushes and the bombs are tranquilized."
 * Even before that, I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier...that album came out in 2004...
 * Flowers now uses the lyric "the vampires and the bombs" in live performances.
