Frogtoon Muziek - Nummerinformatie: Somebody Told Me

"Somebody Told Me" Is A Song Performed By The Killers. The Song Is Featured On The Group's Debut Album Hot Fuss And Was Written By Dave Keuning Ronnie Vannucci Jr. Mark Stoermer And Brandon Flowers. Lead Singer Brandon Flowers Refers To This Song As "Our Most Vegas-Influenced Song On The Album. Sin City The Strip. It's Where I Grew Up And Of Course It Affects The Songs I Write. This Song Has A Lot Of Sexual Energy." When The Killers First Started Out Their Music Was Little Noticed By Music-Buyers And The Media Which Is Why "Somebody Told Me" Has Been Released Twice In Slightly Different Forms. The First With The Pink Background Cover Is The Rarer Version Of The Single As It Was Their First Release Of It Due To Poor Sales Not As Many Were Produced. When Re-Released The Cover-Art Sported A Blue Background Colour And Is The More Common Version Of The Single. The Music Video For "Somebody Told Me" Directed By Brett Simon Simply Shows The Killers Performing Their Song In The Moonlight Of A Desert Location With A Giant LED Screen Displaying Rolling Flashing Images Of Their Logo As Well As An Alternate Version Of The Video Shot During The Day Presumably In The Same Location. The Concept Is Very Similar To The Video For Crystal By New Order Which Features A Fictional Band Called The Killers Miming The New Order Song In Front Of A Large Video Screen Flashing Random Colours And Images. It Was From This Video That The Killers Got Their Band Name So The Similarities Are Likely An Intentional Homage. The Single Peaked At #51 On The US Billboard Hot 100. The Re-Issued Blue Edition Of The Single Peaked At #3 In The UK. In Australia The Song Was Ranked #4 On Triple J's Hottest 100 Of 2004. Billboard Called The Song "wildly Infectious " And "as Addictive As Nickel Slots." Blender Said The Single Is A "superb Blaze Of Synthesizers And Guitars That Builds To The Year's Best One-Liner 'Somebody Told Me You Had A Boyfriend Who Looked Like A Girlfriend I Had In February Of Last Year.'" Entertainment Weekly Hailed The Single As "three Smashingly Punchy Minutes Of Garage Pop So Tightly Wound That Singer Brandon Flowers Seems To Be Accusing His Girl Of Cheating On Him With Another Woman Is The Song Worth Downloading." Rolling Stone Said The Single Was A "nightclub Anthem In The Making" And Continued "the Acid-Tongued 'Somebody Told Me' Blasts Into Outer Space On A Wave Of Synthesizers And Singer Brandon Flowers' Cheeky Chorus. Richard Cheese And Lounge Against The Machine Covered This Song Into A Lounge Style On Their 2005 Album Aperitif For Destruction. He Sings The Song In A Drunken Manner And Near The End Of The Song He Apparently Runs To The Bathroom To Puke. The Song Was Covered By Daniel Bedingfield As Part Of A Radio 1 Live Lounge Session.
It Was Covered By Charlotte Church And Alesha Dixon On The Charlotte Church Show. "Weird Al" Yankovic Included This Song In Polkarama! From Straight Outta Lynwood. On 9 October 2009 JLS Appeared On The BBC One Chat Show Friday Night With Jonathan Ross Where They Performed An Acapella Version Of The Song. There Is A Parody Of This Song By ApologetiX Called Somebody Sold Me. In 2009 It Was Voted At Number 18 In UK Radio Station XFM's "100 Greatest Songs Of All Time. The Song Is Heard In The Film Rocky Balboa When Rocky Jr. Is In The Bar And Sees The Computer Simulated Fight. The Song Is A Playable Song On The Music Video Game Rock Revolution.
