"Mr. Brightside" is a song by The Killers which is about the bands lead singer Brandon Flowers' ex-girlfriend who cheated on him. Flowers recalled to Q magazine March 2009 how he discovered her with another man at the Crown and Anchor pub in his hometown of Las Vegas: "I was asleep, and I knew something was wrong. I have these instincts. I went to the Crown and Anchor and my girlfriend was there with another guy." Flowers added that the song was "born" at the Crown and Anchor. (Thanks, Hannah - East Kilbride, Scotland)

In the video, actress Izabella Miko (of Coyote Ugly) plays the girlfriend. Eric Roberts (Julia's brother) also stars in the video. (Thanks, Julia - London, England)

The director of the video, Sophie Muller, has directed over 100 videos, including several for Gwen Stefani's solo album. (Thanks, Erourke - Raleigh, NC)
