As a commentator of many years standing on matters of popular culture, it is the one phenomenon I cannot get my head around. Just what is the British fascination with Mr Brightside by The Killers which means it is almost a singles chart ever-present. The streaming era has adopted it as the song that is present on every single playlist, a track which resonates across generations - hardly surprising given it was written and released over 20 years ago. So it seems only appropriate to let Steve and Sharon loose on the lyrics. Come with me on a journey into the mind of man driven to despair by romantic jealousy. Perhaps it really is that universal. It still isn't their best song though.
