Original Lyrics:
Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink, you might miss
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

[Chorus]
Well, somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential

[Verse 2]
Ready? Let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll then I'm leaving without you
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

[Chorus]
Well, somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
A-rushing, rushing around

[Bridge]
Pace yourself for me
I said maybe, baby, please
But I just don't know now (Maybe, baby)
When all I want to do is try

[Chorus]
Well, somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
A-rushing, rushing around
Somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
A-rushing, rushing around
Somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
A-rushing, rushing around

"Somebody Told Me" is a song by American rock band the Killers. It was released as the second official single from the group's debut studio album Hot Fuss (2004), and was written by band members Brandon Flowers, Mark Stoermer, Dave Keuning and Ronnie Vannucci Jr.. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Brandon Flowers said "This is the story of trying to meet someone in a club." [1] It is written in the key of B-flat minor.
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 color and is the more common version of the single.
The single peaked at #51 on the United States Billboard Hot 100. In the United Kingdom, it charted at #28 upon its first release in March 2004, becoming the band's first hit in the Top 40, it was then re released in January 2005 and reached #3. Although not as successful as "Mr. Brightside", it still became one of the band's biggest hits to date.
In Australia, the song was ranked #4 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2004. In 2009, it was voted at Number 9 in XFM's Top 100 Songs of the Decade.
Billboard called the song "wildly infectious",[6] and "as addictive as nickel slots".[7] Blender asserted that 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.'"[8]
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."[9] 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."[10]
Michael Paoletta of Billboard praised the remixes done by, respectively, Josh Harris and King Unique for "maintaining the original song's integrity" but recommended readers to buy the album, Hot Fuss, rather than the single

The boyfriend/girlfriend parts make me think of this as the Blur cut.

[spiderplants]

confession: this is the first version of this song i ever heard, and when i listened to the original afterwards, i was highly disappointed that the "hoo-hooo-oooo"s don't continue all the way through the song like they do in this version

[gabbydeloreann]

I'm that blonde guy going "Ooh ooh ooh"

[PhantommenacePC]

This is almost certainly the finest examples of Killers humor I've ever seen. I laughed to the point of pain and tears. Congratulations.

Well, to be fair the "boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend" line never made sense in the unedited one too.

[sabrinacastrodale]

the “never thought i’d let a rumor break my back” with the scream at the end continues to crack me up, even after the 10th time. well done good sir

[earthwormlily]

I’m surprised nobody’s talking about “PISS YOURself for I was losing my mind at that

[amenduhbainez]

I break my fucking back laughing every time the camera focuses on that blond guy.

[sarina]

"Have you broke your back yet"
"No but I got cheese whiz"
