Pop Revelations XI: Dancer? Vampire.

The Killers.

Their name should tell you all you need to know. Obviously these are a people who like to dance with danger, to flirt with the undead. To test the very boundaries of the vampiric society they fit so well with. They are the "gender benders" of the supernatural world. Do they really kill? Do we care?

How ironic is it that The Killers hit song, "Human" is actually about vampires? Its ironic enough for the volturi to leave it alone, but as you all know by now, TDH leaves nothing alone. How ironic is it that changing one simple word in this song changes its entire meaning? Not ironic at all. After all, being vampire and being dancer are not mutually exclusive ideas.

Human Lyrics by The Killers
{with word "dancer" replaced by "vampire" for a chilling effect}

Chorus
Are we human?
Or are we vampire?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we vampire?

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart...
Cut the cord

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well..
You've gotta let me go

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

You've gotta let me know

Are we human?
Or are we vampire?

Are we human
Or are we vampire?

These lyrics set up many jokes about something that we know very little about.
