The Killers - Andy You're A Star - Weenie Roast 2005

the killers at KROQ weenie roast 2005...andy you're a star....brandon doing his robot dance!!!

[@edwardrichtofen4109]

He says it's called Andy was a friend of mine

[@HorkPorkler]

Nope

[@wendystevens8428]

NO - He didn't - He just said "Andy was a friend of mine" but not that it was the name of the song.

[@RobyntheRobin]

1:19 For some reason the addition of another "Get down" makes this my favorite performance of this song... well, along with the robot dance! Edit: Also I find the way his nods his head after the line here cute idk why. --> 0:37

[@shannoNYY]

Maybe he is saying "hey shut up" in disgust of his own thoughts/words. Or maybe him confronting Andy once and Andy saying "hey shut up"

[@mariapujol9748]

So... Jenny is a star?

[@Kingofthesea14]

That robot though

[@tangerinefusion1]

The killers need to revisit this era of the band! This is when they were there most amazing! The look, the sound, the mysterious! Love the dance and style! Period!

[@KeaneKiller18]

yeah, the song is about a guy he had a crush on in high school..I suppose they were friends or something.

[@demonjay4619]

He is the star

[@tiffanychan583]

I'll never forget watching this streaming. His gaze is so extraordinary. And that robot move!

[@fezmel]

My favorite Killers song

[@dynamicpillow2349]

This is like, my song. Not my favourite but for no particular reason I just feel attached to this song. I almost feel it's mine 😂 But yeah, love it

[@MimosaH15]

his vocal performance for this song is AMAZING it sounds like his singing nowadays!! i love it, hes brilliant and super hot. whole package. BRANBOT, please bring it back!! thekillersforever :)

[@edita8524]

Here Brandon reminds me of Brian Molko and Robert Smith both combined.

[@PanicForPoland]

This beat is just...it just kills~ wonderful band

[@skialarmahar6991]

Andy, indeed was a friend of his. For those who don't know: he and Andy went to high school together. Andy was the sports star who made Brandon's time their miserable. Andy worked for the same high school later on (talk about karma), and so Brandon wrote this song sarcastically. Gotta say this is my favorite Killers song and probably even my most favorite song all together. Also: GOTTA LOVE THAT BRANDON BOT, THOUGH XD

[@mattthomas8623]

Andy Messermith was Juab High School's star football player and wrestler. He worked there up until a few years ago as a coach. He got into a verbal and physical conflict (put him in a headlock) with a student and was placed on administrative leave and then changed schools. Some say he was a bully, some say they were great friends and keep in touch. No way of knowing which is true. I have scoured the internet Nephi Times News articles, local news sources, interviews and song interpretation forums for all my evidence. It is all accessible if you're curious.

[@HorkPorkler]

@@mattthomas8623 leave a dude alone, psycho. What a lame thing to shit on someone in highschool. He's already on blast in a famous song. Stop being such a douchy fanboy.

[@vegasshells]

Some people get upset when people say they interpret it as him clapping back at a former bully but it quacks like a duck to me too. I read Andy’s Dad worked at the school at the time both were attending. Nothing makes it so a bully can keep bullying like having the bully’s parent teaching at the same school. We’re all adults now and I’m sure Andy has grown out of his bully phase. Moral of the story: don’t bully because it’s wrong and the person you are bullying might write a song about you.

[@kirsten452]

Andy was a friend of mine!!! ♥

[@ThomasJakobMusic]

I laughed my ass of at his robot dance but it was amazing!

Andy, You're A Star The Killers Album: Hot Fuss On the field I remember you were incredible Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah On the field I remember you were incredible Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah On the match with the boys, you think you're all alone With the pain that you drain from love In a car with a girl, promise me she's not your world Cause Andy, you're a star Leave your number on the locker and I'll give you a call Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah Leave your legacy in gold on the plaques that line the hall Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah On the streets, such a sweet face jumping in town In the staff when the verdict is in In a car with a girl, promise me she's not your world Cause Andy, you're a star In nobody's eyes but mine Andy, you're a star In nobody's eyes but mine Andy, you're a star In nobody's eyes In nobody's eyes but mine Written by Brandon Flowers, Dave Brent Keuning, Mark August Stoermer, Ronnie Jr. Vannucci Copyright © Universal Music Publishing Group ℗ 2004 Island Records, a division of UMG Recordings, Inc.

[@Davebrent]

muy bueno el videooo!!! GRANDEEE THE KILLERSS !!!!!!!!!!!

[@Emily2211xb]

Maybe...he means Andy was a friend of mine, because Andy is star...hahah

[@lali2009]

great vid love it!!

[@uppon2]

He is pretending to be playing football. Then touching down in a robotic fashion. A guy named Andy Messersmith went to school with Brandon Flowers. They went to Juab High School in Nephi, Utah, and Andy was the popular sports star, and he tortured Brandon and made his time there miserable. So Brandon wrote this song sarcastically. Andy become the school gym teacher but got fired after strangling a student in class after a bunch of pent up emotion from people jokingly playing/singing this song

[@mattthomas8623]

I never found any sources saying what started the conflict, but I do know it did not take place in class. The verbal conflict began during class and then the physical violence ensued after school on school property. The cause of conflict was, however, kept secret from press. Most of the community was on the side of Messermith, and he was placed on administrative but decided to change schools. Also: some say the two were friends, including Andy's mother herself in an interview, and according to an online forum Andy himself said they still keep in touch. No way of knowing however. Or perhaps they had a secret relationship? Listen to these songs in this order, pay attention to lyrics: 1) Andy, you're a star 2) Change your mind 3) On Top....

[@acusticadam]

dear lord!

[@Paglia444]

He was so gorgeous back then

[@thracetrading2605]

Daaaaang that was an excellent voice. I wonder why Flowers can't do that anymore. He's too high pitched nowadays.

[@l33gend]

he was best in 2005 in my opinion

[@kaylynn1731]

0:05 you're welcome.

[@shawni321]

He is like Brando here.

[@Tallulagirl]

Did he just say Andy Was a Friend of Mine? I thought it was Andy, Your a Star. Lol. I think he got Jenny Was a Friend of Mine mixed up with Andy, Your a Star.

[@OtakuSpaz]

is he wearin eyeshadow???

[@jorgehermosilla924]

quiero el concierto completo T_T

[@KeaneKiller18]

whoa! That's some heavy make-up he's got going on there!XD

[@l33gend]

@tophrocks96 yes

[@manis2197]

It was his high school friend.

[@l33gend]

quality

[@MarcusKiner]

Actually Brandon said it's making fun of Andy, cuz he thought he was the shit.

[@mattthomas8623]

Debateable. In an interview Andy's mother said they were close friends, and in an online forum an alleged friend of Andy's said Andy said they were friends. But there's no way to know for sure.

[@ANA1961maria]

De qué va la letra. Gracias

[@girts310]

brandon flowers looks like Emo :D

[@JamesWEnderson2000]

2:44 BRANDON BOT FTW

[@cryptid_syd]

@uppon2 that's surprisingly creepy and call me gullible but I sort of half believe that story. o_____________o

[@musicunicorn4368]

Is he drunk

[@lrod1887]

The Killers > MUSE!!!!

[@LittleBlue91]

Oooh I don't.

[@NormtheGenome]

Brandon had too much Coke.

[@mrsginabrightside]

i agree with you the comments are riduclous just like muse ;] ^reply to that one bitch cant wait for it

[@pauljuradolopez6993]

que porquería

[@lrod1887]

MUSE is great, but the killers are innovative, muse is a knockoff of radiohead and depechemode if you ask me.

[@mrsginabrightside]

how ridiculous do you sound? going on about boring muse on a killers video? i think you will find that they are all your opinions.......

[@mrsginabrightside]

now who's the dumb fuck? don't you understand sarcasm? thick f*ck and nah why should i go to all the trouble of blocking you? it might mean i have to go on your joke of a youtube page again go get some youtube friends to talk to instead of wasting everyones time? you get quite boring after a while lmao and the comments are quite funny tbh go dig yourself a SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE + don't come out youtube would be a nicer place =]
