The Killers: Andy, You're A Star Meaning
Andy, You're A Star Lyrics
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
On the field I remember you were incredible
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
On the mats with the boys, you think you're all alone
With the pain that you drain from...

Actually this is actually a sarcastic song written by flowers. Andy was a football satr who brutally bullied flowers.
-
I actually know the person who he wrote this song about. I go to the high school he went to until his junior year, and "Andy" Messersmith (A football player, was in the same year as Brandon Flowers) was a teacher of mine, before he was "resigned". If you don't believe me, look it up: from when he was eight until when he was in his junior year, he lived in Nephi, UT, and went to Juab High School. He is, in actuality, mocking Andy Messersmith because Brandon was the social outcast while Andy was the starting QB for the high school team and the "popular" kid.

1. Anyone can write anything on wikipedia. 2. No one cares what high school you go to, just because there's a man named Andy does not mean it's about him. I'm sure you know everyones families.
I'm going to take a different approach and say that this song is complete sarcasm. I think Andy is a typical jock that picks on the singer and now the singer isnteasing him. Just my two cents.
I'm -
it's seems like it about a rapist football player that got caught but somebody that loves him can't accept the truth.

This song is about a guy named Andy Messersmith. Brandon Flowers went to school with him at Juab High School in utah. andy is really full of himself and he was really good at football and wrestling.the whole "hey shut up" thing is just something that andy says all the time.he does have plaques all around our school (i go to juab) andy actually was my history teacher this year until he got FIRED! Andy are you still a star??
-
I think that it's about a teenage girl who idolizes some boy at school. The boy is very popular and handsome but she isn't popular or attractive. Andy is good at sports as the lyrics state.
-
Andy was Brandon's brother.

I personally agree with imaginarybeast interpretation and the like, but I differ on the conclusions.
I too hear a very sarcastic note in the lyrics. "Andy you're a star, in nobody's eyes but mine", means that the populraity Andy onced used to have in his High-school years has now totally vanished, he's a mr. noone for the rest of the world.
I don't think Flowers envys him, though, on the contrary I think he's just making fun of him, like: "you're nobody now, I'm a star, who's got the upper hand, now, huh?"
It seems this Andy (if he really existed) must have been a badass towards Flowers and made him suffer, but now Brandon has the upper hand and Andy continues to be a star only in the singer's memories.
That's all. IMO -
This song is actually about a kid that the lead singer went to Highschool about. Andy Messersmith no not the baseball player. Recently he was a coach at Juab Highschool in Utah.
-
Andy was a football star and a "popular" jock in high school. Andy thought he was all that and probably made fun of brandon or something like that. It took place at Juab High School where they both attended. Andy actually coaches at the high schoool right now. I don't know the interpretation, but i know brandoon is not gay and is married to a woman.
-
I was in the same high school as brandon. andy messersmith was a real ass hole to brandon. used to tell him to shut up all the time. now brandon's rich and famous and andy the super athlete never really amounted to anything other than becoming an even bigger ass hole.
-
Brandon is from a small town called nephi where he played golf and went to school with ANDY which is an ass and always has been. Brandon had this girlfriend that meant a lot to him and Andy stole her away she is actually referred to as JENNY in a lot of songs but Brandon got his revenge cause when of our kids that go to the school where Andy teaches told him he was a star and Andy assaulted the kid and lost his job and is made to look like the fool he has always been.

honestly, you guys thinking about this whole bisexual shiz are dumber than rocks and you need to get lives. im with andyman492 for the most part. i know its about him taking the girl. and yes, i do know andy, actually. he teaches at the high school XP

Ok. First of all. He is not GAY! Brandon Flowers went to Juab High School in Nephi Utah for some period. He Left his junior year to live with his aunt in Vegas. while we was here there was a football, wrestling star. Of course names Andy. Brandon was jealous of Andy. and wanted to be just like him. He would watch andy play and was amazed "Andy your a star". They became friends and still are to this day. I know this because I went to Juab High School. And live in Nephi. And Andy became a history/gym teacher and became the wrestling coach.
