The Killers featuring Wild Light & Mariachi El Bronx “Happy Birthday Guadalupe”
On this, The Killers’ fourth consecutive Christmas charity single installment, the Vegas boys team up with former touring mates New Hampshire indie-rockers Wild Light and the previously MM-praised The Bronx alter-ego Mariachi El Bronx to spin a beautifully Latin-flavored yarn about a big brown-eyed, “lovely señorita” named “Guadalupe”.
Second in appeal for us behind their 2007 entry “Don’t Shoot Me Santa”, “Happy Birthday Guadalupe” is essentially inspired after Mexican icon Our Lady of Guadalupe, but it sounds just as good when looked at as a holiday-themed, tortured love story between a man and a one-night stand bedmate he struggles to dismiss from his brain, while also suggesting a musical style The Killers should consider tackling on their next album (even if they do end up looking like Mariachi El Bronx style-jackers as a result).
Check out the “Happy Birthday Guadalupe” video below (all proceeds from the single go towards (RED), the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa) followed by the newest clip from Bronx’, “Holy”.
