The Killer's 'Mr Brightside' is UK drivers' favourite sing-along song while in the car.
The track from the Las Vegas band's 2004 album Hot Fuss defeated classic rock songs such as Steppenwolf's 'Born To Be Wild' and 'Eye of the Tiger' by Survivor, to top a survey about motorist's favourite tunes to listen to whilst driving.
Though 70s and 80s favourites such as Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding Out For A Hero' and Phil Collins' 'In The Air Tonight' made the list, it was the Killers' tale of a jealous lover that topped the chart.
rian Martin, manager of elephant.co.uk, who carried out the poll, admitted it was a surprise to see the most modern song in the poll topping the list.
"For a relatively new tune, it seems to have made quite an impact," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.
The survey found marked differences between male and female drivers' favoured driving songs, with women favouring Bonnie Tyler over the Killers and tracks by Lenny Kravitz and Talking Heads favoured by men but failing to make the female top ten.
Martin added: "It's women that are the most prolific in-car crooners and more than twice as many women than men admit to always singing in their car.
"Twelve per cent of men claim they drive in silence compared to only three per cent of women," he explained.
The overall top ten songs for British drivers were:
Pierce Brosnan is 'outrageously' kissable! Legendry actor Pierce Brosnan may not be attached to the 'James Bond' film series anymore, but he is still considered to be one of the most kissable men in Hollywood.
