When asked “Which track on Day & Age do you think will resonate most with gay fans,” Killers front man, Brandon Flowers, said that the Killers “marry disco and rock in a perfect way on “Joy Ride.”” And I think he’s right. “Joy Ride,” track 4 on Day & Age, features a fantastically funky bass line and almost-misplaced organic hand-drumming.

Lyrically speaking, “Joy Ride” is somewhat reminiscent of Hot Fuss’ “Midnight Show,” in the sense that both songs are set in a car at some point, and that both songs are potential cruising tracks. And depending on Brandon’s dance moves, both songs can be crowd favorites.
