oh wow I'd completely forgotten about this
I was wearing dog ears made out of paper and black eye pencil on my nose when I finally realized how powerful “Mr. Brightside” could be. It was Halloween of 2015. I was dressed as Mr. Peanutbutter from “BoJack Horseman,” and I was in a Kerrytown basement with a faulty stereo system. The music was great, but the songs would sometimes cut out for minutes at a time — people would trip over a cord or knock against the speaker the wrong way or something, and we’d be stuck in awkward, disappointed silence until it got fixed. Anyway, “Mr. Brightside” comes on, and if you’re a fan of The Killers, you know there’s no greater rush of excitement than those opening guitar notes. You hear them come out of nowhere and it’s just delirious ecstasy, with the entire room suddenly united in a sweaty mess of jumps and shouts. And that was the reaction at this Halloween party — until the speakers gave way again. Except, the thing is, the lack of music didn’t stop the song. People kept singing the words, clapping along to the beat and turning the basement into a spontaneous a cappella party that lasted until the real “Mr. Brightside” came back with all its synth-pop spectacle.

No surprise that Chicago Pope was able to make it through all the arguments and petty feuds of Conclave voting. He's got a lot of experience with Italian beef.
