Song at the end?

The Killers are my favorite band, and Mr. Brightside is a decent song, but I cannot for the life of me understand why that song has become their most enduring hit. They have so many songs that are much better than that and nowhere near as overplayed. Maybe people just have a repressed cuckolding fetish and that’s why the song speaks to them so much. Certainly would explain why the song is so popular in the UK.
Pretty simple, it's catchy and easy for a lot of different tastes of music to like. The "cuckholding" piece is just a relatable thing for a lot of people who have been through tough break ups. "Coming out of my cage and I'm doing just fine" can be spun a million directions, as a victory/uniting song it's basically "F off, I came out on the right side."

Great question, and a bit of a Sophie’s choice but here goes.

1) All These Things That I’ve Done
2) A Dustland Fairytale
3) tie Jenny Was A Friend of Mine or Sam’s Town

I still think this live performance of Dustland on Letterman might be the best live I’ve ever seen on tv.
