Hottest Verse of the Year:
Not sure it's the hottest, but most confusing is from The Killers," Are we human or are we Dancer?" I know it’s from a Hunter S. Thompson quote, but I still can't quite wrap my tiny brain around it being singular and not plural. haaaaah.

We addressed the state of how we're (USA) perceived in the global community in the song "Everyone".
