The Man by The Killers. I heard this one on the Mega64 podcast, I believe their best song. Everybody should do this disco/synthwave/whatever is happening thing in recent years. I figure they just took two or three classic songs and put them in a blender, mixed with some Kavinsky synth etc, what songs are they is the question. The "money in the bank" etc bit does sound Bee Gees-ish.

Yeah this is definitely "Staying Alive" with some Queen style vocals thrown in. Not a bad song for a band I stopped paying attention to 12 years ago.

How can he even deny it, it's kind of... right there. He barely even tried to hide it.

It also owes a lot to Labradford's "Dulcimers played by Peter Neff. Strings played":

Maybe this is a lot more general of a question than the thread asks, but can you provide some actual bands to listen to in the style of these tracks?

I know it's surf rock, but some recommendations would be very much appreciated.

My friend have you heard the good news about Man... or Astro-Man?
