Monday Morning Music

I am excited about this one because one of my very favorite bands is releasing a new album on November 25 and this is the first single. It's a great song, but it has had some controversy because of the lyrics. Nothing bad, but it was written after the lead singer heard a disparaging quote about America raising a generation of "dancers". Here is the statement Brandon Flowers made regarding his lyrics...

"It's taken from a quote by author Hunter S. Thompson. ... 'We're raising a generation of dancers,' and I took it and ran. I guess it bothers people that it's not grammatically correct, but I think I'm allowed to do whatever I want," he laughed. " 'Denser'? I hadn't heard that one. I don't like 'denser.' "

So, there you go. It's "dancer," and don't you forget it. And though Flowers cops to nicking the line from Thompson, does he share any of the author's sentiments about the growing softness of America's youth?

"I think that I do, and I don't want to be too much of a preacher," he said. "I say that it's a mild social statement, and that's all I'm gonna say. We're still trying to write the best pop songs we can write."

Remember to pause the music player at the side.

Oh- and also he's TOTALLY HOT. Just thought I'd add that part in case you weren't aware. :) Just lookin' out for ya.
