This new “Night Version” of the Killers fun and bouncy “Joy Ride” can be found as a B-Side for their new single, “The World We Live In.” What the Killers should have done is just release “Joy Ride” as their single and shelved the whole “The World We Live In” idea. The idea the Killers ran with was making “Joy Ride,” an already fun fusion of disco and rock, even more dance-floor friendly, or perfect for the night about town.
They transformed “Joy Ride” into well, *crappy joke time* a joy ride Running at just over 7 minutes long, “Joy Ride (Night Version)” is an epic journey that takes you through a 1950s jazz bar, fully equipped with brass and hand drums and jazz guitars. For a second, you start to wonder if Hercules and Love Affair had anything to do with this marvelous transformation, something I wish was on the original cut on the album. Read on to give “Joy Ride” 2.0 a listen.

certainly a lot more interesting than the original, is it a remix done by themselves yeah?
I’m not sure, I mean, they didn’t credit anyone else…
If it is done by them, I am really impressed.
This remix (?) RULES! Its way better than the original. Kudos to the Killers
I love these guys, they’re so fashionable and i love brandon flowers’ voice! thanks for the awesome Killers music PMA!!!
i want his keyboard…. and his sunglasses…lol
lol funny, this does sound like Hercules & Love Affair remixes Joy Ride. great write up and mp3
thank you so much for the mp3, i love this.
and I agree with you completely, this would have been a great single
This isn’t actually a b-side right? I read somewhere that it’s available for download with a code you get when you buy The World We Live In. I’m really curious who did this rework.
damn this track is awesome. it’s great to see The Killers improving on some of the stuff from Day and Age.
hmmm…you reckon their label didnt want them to have this on the album so its a b-side and they shortened it to the original?
i do like a good conspiracy theory haha
Oh man, thank you for posting this…possibly my favorite track on the album. Love the Duran Duran influences, especially releasing a “Night Version” of the song, which DD themselves did for a handful of their singles back in the day. And I love the line “there’s something in the distance – a glorious existence”.
