IF this still is #20 or above by the final update next week, it will have set the record for most weeks spent in the top 20 of the chart (it's tied with "Cold" right now, with 36)

Somebody please get this song of the alternative chart. My station still rotates this song frequently (I hear it at least once a day). They play the original and re-mixed versions, by the way, which could only help, I presume. Still, 40+ weeks in the Top 50 is way too much. I was sick of this song in January. Maybe Audioslave or Switchfoot can do the deed next week!!

I didn't even know there were remixed versions of this song until yesterday when I was in Kansas City and 96.5 The Buzz played what I think I've identified as Jacques Lu Cont's Thin White Duke Mix. I actually think I enjoyed it too. Maybe it was just nice to hear something different.

Almost started a new topic for this, but the search engine found it right away. Promo Only Modern for December is issuing a live version of this song. Not sure if it's going to all radio stations. I don't remember much about the original. It was always one of those "immediately change the station" songs, Like everything else from the sissy-indie music of that year. But I was curious to why put out a live version of one of your first singles so soon in the career?

I'll take your word for it they're releasing a live album. But my point was why release a single from it that's already been out this decade. Why not put out a track that's new? Just seems odd to me.

Artie, sometimes you just dig a hole I wish i could bury you in. I'm going to start offending all the useless music you like, just because I don't like it or have different tastes. Stop the negative connotations, please. I'm asking nicely. I don't care if you say you don't like it. I do care if you add the "sissy" type comments. They are not appreciated in this world.

Dude, they acted like fruits and wore eye makeup. I didn't know one dude who listened to them. But that's not speaking against you. Again, it's on Promo Only Modern for next month. It really doesn't get much more reliable than that. But as usual, nobody has a good explanation. I'm assuming it's their most well known song, and they're trying to get more mileage out of it.

Maybe they're not really pushing it but it's there as an alternative if radio stations want to use it instead of the one they already spin.

That could be. But could hearing a somewhat popular and tired song be enough to get fans to buy the album? Maybe. I would think a cover or unreleased track could do more. Oh well. Not my band anyway!

I don't think covers or unreleased tracks are the point of a live album.

Artie Ziff. You sound more like a fruit than anyone I've ever known, and I'm gay and most of my friends are flaming homos. Stop with the negative comments or fuck off somewhere else, jackass!

Guys, Artie's just ignorant. He is to be pitied, not vilified.

Not being a fan of "Mr. Brightside" myself (I've always preferred "All These Things That I've Done"), there are much better ways of getting your point across.
But of course, it's Artie, so why even bother.

Artie, you're such a f**k!ng f@g.....*
*Let it be known that this is to not offend homosexuals at all, this just seemed like a fitting word to call someone who acts like an ignorant b@stard. So if I did offend you, my apologies. I am pretty sure I am representing a good amount of people's thoughts on this one.
