Hi. Just thought you might be interested to hear The Killers covering the song:

In reply to this comment by Linz:
I've always loved this song, but finally seeing the video actually makes me like it a little less. That's just not how it looks in my head!
It would rock if they just used that montage from Empire records.

The Killers cover this song on their new album, Sawdust.

It seems Brandon Flowers isn't familiar with the term "street suss" as in his version he says "sings the streets a serenade."

[edit]
Here's The Killers' version.

Romeo and Juliet (from Act 2)

"But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,"

Now given the above Babelfish treatment...

"But which light tenderly breaks over there the window?
It is is, and Juliet is the sun.
To emerge just, sun and to kill the envieuse moon
Which is already sick with pale and to suffer."

There is a reason it looks like a movie... because it was directed by none other than Aussie film director Baz Luhrmann (Strictly Ballroom, Romeo and Juliet, Moulin Rouge)! Just be sure to change the spelling error in your title (Chanel - one N, not two).

wow! My Alfa Romeo doesn't do that. Neither are there many Dutch roads on which it would be possible to go that fast

I watched these ads on TV and I fucking love them. I have an immense respect for the Canadian Military. No 'Army Of One' garbage here.

The pivotal moment for me was seeing a speech by Romeo Dallaire talking on why Canada needs to expand its military to gain a voice in the international scene with respect to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Thanks for the input, Baqueta. I also always thought it was "sings the streets a serenade," but when searching for the complete lyric listing I've found that "streetsuss" appears the only form ever used. After a little more searching, I feel certain that you've pegged it; "street-suss" seems a fairly common term.

From http://www.uri-geller.com/rage.htm :

Robert McNeil finds some aggressive street-suss being directed at the Festival luvvies. ...
"Meanwhile, the bar-room hangouts of the Edinburgh habitues resound to the sound of bitchily dismissive critiques of a 'scuzzy' circus which markets itself with an aggressive sense of street-suss, and which wins popular support by the barrel-load, but scores 'nil points' in Edinburgh's teaming enclaves of fey, androgynous arty-farty folk."

From M-W:

Main Entry: suss
Pronunciation: 's&s
Function: transitive verb
Etymology: by shortening & alteration from suspect
1 chiefly British : FIGURE OUT -- usually used with out
2 chiefly British : to inspect or investigate so as to gain more knowledge -- usually used with out

So, Romeo serenades the bitter night with the fires of street wisdom burning in his soul, completing the sorrowful harmony which echoes through the alleyways and withering branches of barren trees ineluctably entering Juliet's solitude with an offer of sweet remorse.

...or something.

Don't know why, but never really liked this song.....the lyrics were just tooooooo hokey....that Romeo and Juliet shit....these guys really could not write songs that well.......catchy tune you say??? Overplayed says the muse, overhyped and overplayed.....(Goddamn that choggies' a cynical hard to please bastard!!)

Milo O'Shea? From Romeo and Juliet?

Jane Fonda was hot. I must agree.

I wanted to post that one too, but the author doesn't want the video available in embedded code. The same guy made another video that was posted here on VideoSift.
