"All These Things That I've Done" is a song from The Killers album Hot Fuss. It was released as a single in 2005 (see 2005 in music).

[edit] Track listings

Like Mr. Brightside, the song features two videos:

The earlier version, which features The Killers singing while walking down Brick Lane in London accompanied by a crowd. The video also featured shots of the audience who attended The Killers concert at the London Astoria on July 8 2004.

The later version, directed by Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn, features a surreal, dream-like sequence where the Killers, dressed as cowboys, are attacked by scantily-clad female warriors armed with boomerangs (the scenes involving the women are strikingly similar to the events depicted in the Russ Meyer cult classic film Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, which also featured a small group of women (who were strippers in the film) enacting revenge upon people they come across while seeking thrills in the desert, particularly those of the opposite gender). Some have noted that Brandon Flowers, who dons a moustache in this video, looks similar to Freddie Mercury, perhaps as an unintended tribute.

The single peaked at #74 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at #18 in the UK Singles Chart.
The song was featured on the soundtrack for The Matador and is featured in Richard Kelly's film Southland Tales.
David Cameron chose this song as one of his eight selected records, to take with him to a hypothetical desert island, on BBC Radio Four's Desert Island Discs (Broadcast, 28 May 2006).
The song has also been used to promote Invisible Children, a documentary about child abduction and children forced into military conscription and sexual slavery related to conflict in Northern Uganda.
The song is featured in Daewon Song's part in the Almost Skateboard film Round Three.
The B-side "Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself" is a cover of a song by Morrissey. The band are avowed fans of his.
The song was featured at the PDC05 confrence in a video by Microsoft
The song was performed by Lukas Rossi while competing in the show Rock Star: Supernova
The song was used in the pilot of Jericho
