Watch: The Killers' New American Epic

The Killers want you to know that they're as American as roadside diners, apple pie, greasers, '57 Chevys, bobby-pinned Brendas in party dresses, and good ol' fashion knife fights -- which is why the Vegas foursome packaged 'em all together in their grand new music video for Day and Age gem "A Dustland Fairytale." Watch below.

The five-minute music video is more of a short film. It's like the boys' take on Grease… but with a sentimental twist: Footage of a grizzled old man returning to his childhood stomping ground is spliced with flashbacks from his roaring and troubled past -- engaging in hot rod races, smooching his sweetheart, and gettin' tough in a knife fight… which ends in an unforgettable tragedy.

And of course, there's Mr. Brandon Flowers injecting a little drama of his own: "He's some kind of slick chrome American prince / It's a blue jean serenade / Cinderella in a party dress / I saw the devil wrapping up his hands / He's getting ready for the showdown," he sings.

Watch out, Green Day: The Killers' "Fairytale" drama is custom fit for the Broadway stage, too. But wait! Who will fill in for Marlon Brando and play the role of the dreamy tough guy?
