I can't stand Sex on fire. I just think it such an overated song

Use somebody is possibly one of most stunning rocky ballad type song I have come across in ages. Just love the words and emotion. It came from the heart.

I've been into KOL since 2003 but can honestly say that Sex On Fire and Use Somebody are incredibly overrated... but like others said in the thread.... sheep

i think when they're used on tv shows sometimes people have never heard them before, so they download them more recently than when the songs were actually released

Bizarre!... Definitely one of the best on the album, but you're the first person I ever heard/read say that.

The trouble is they fell in the mainstream for those singles... Bring back the Aha Shake day's I say!

Or perhaps buying it because they like it.

If that was the case, the they would of bought it last year, when the songs were at their peak, not a year later just because a nobody covers the song on X Factor.

Perhaps they haven't heard it before? People don't just buy songs because they think it's cool.

yeah, people who have clearly not turned on a radio in the last year, or they would of heard it already. x factor viewers aren't music fans, they just believe whatever Cowell says is good.

Two great songs by a fantastic band with a brilliant back catalogue to back them up.and ive seen them live,their fantastic musicians.

I love Kings Of Leon, seen them live twice but I wouldn't even put Sex On Fire or Use Somebody in my top 20 KOL songs. they could have honestly been written by anybody.. but that's just my opinion.
