Kings of Leon -- Yes, It's About STDs

The song "Sex on Fire" just got a little less sexy -- because the band finally confirmed to us it's actually about STDs.

OK, so they may have been joking, but still ... makes you think twice about those "hot as a fever, rattling bones" lyrics, right?

7. instead of "sex on fire", it's more like...."ooooh..my sack is on fire."

8. #2...are you friggin kidding me with that petition? i certainly hope you aren't the author. to those who didn't, you should just read it for a good chuckle.
the author went so far as to say she would die if he didn't resurface because she missed him so much.
he was a celeb. an icon. a legend, yes. but SERIOUSLY? he's gone. he died. let it go. jesus.

lots of people miss him. lots of people are mourning his death...but honestly... to say you're going to the same place he is because you can't bear to be in a world without michael jackson?

people are nuts.

9. Everyone knows that it was being recorded as "Senses on Fire" until someone walked into the studio, misunderstood it and asked "Are you singing my sex is on fire?" They thought it was so awesome they changed it.

10. LOL! @ your photog with "....the lead singer won't talk to me?" Um,maybe it'd be easier if you actually bothered to find out his name?

15. in interviews caleb (lead singer kings of leon) talks about writing this song in the studio .. and hurrying the lyrics .. that the song came fast to him and thats why he shakes his head because it was easy to write therefore hes surprised at how well its done .. and no its not about stds .. yes thats a joke...

btw ... anyone who says they are 'one hit wonders' know nothing about this band as they already have several hits... and also ... anyone who say they 'suck' know NOTHING about this band and have never seen them LIVE... they are AMAZING live!! we just saw them live in san diego last friday... they played almost 3 hours straight and they completely rocked... they gave and gave all night ... just an amazing show all the way!
