Later in 2011, the cast ofВ GleeВ performed this song, mashed-up withВ вЂњ ThrillerвЂќВ (1982) by Michael Jackson (which the aforementioned video is said toВ have been inspired by).В Said renditionВ broke onto the top 40В of the Billboard Hot 100 and thus became the first track written by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to do so. The Assassins were tasked with the rescue of Didier Paton, a spy that had been betrayed by his employer Maximilien de Robespierre when he discovered the existence of the Templar Order, and the retrieval of Paton's notebook. Additionally it has been certified gold in Belgium, Germany and the UK. Heads Will Roll was a virtual representation of one of Arno Dorian's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator. Meanwhile the track was more solidly successful, topping BillboardвЂ™s Hot Dance Singles SalesВ chart as well as the Ultratop 50 FlandersВ in Belgium. The Richard Ayoade-directed music video featuresВ a nod to Michael JacksonВ (who died just days beforeВ вЂњHeads Will RollвЂќВ was released) and went on to be nominated for a MTV Video Music Awards.В And the clip itself is also known for being quite graphic. In fact Interscope had not intended to release this song as a singleВ until the aforementioned remixВ rather blew up. This song was made public on 29 June 2009 as the second single from the Yeah Yeah YeahsвЂ™ third album, ItвЂ™s Blitz.В It has become better known by its remixВ as rendered by a Canadian DJ named A-Trak, which also came out in 2009. Heads will roll is a declaration or prediction that people who are responsible for a failure or a catastrophe will be punished or will suffer the consequences. And it is a bit strange, so to speak, that partygoers would take a liking to a song with such dark lyrics. And it should be noted that ravers happens to be some of the bandвЂ™s biggest fans.В It would therefore be strange for the band members to criticize this category of people.Д«ut that being said, there is definitely some type of horror motif going on here. In other words, whereas the lyrics are intentionally macabre, there doesnвЂ™t seem to be any direct indication that the band actually meant it to be a criticism of ravers. Note: People also say, for example, that heads should roll or heads ought to roll. A big studio is said to be involved, and it is predicted that heads will soon roll there. And what we also know is that when the Yeah Yeah Yeahs wrote it, they were actually seeking to put together a tune thatВ вЂњwas just fun to writeвЂќ. heads will roll mainly BRITISH COMMON If you say that heads will roll, you mean that someone will be punished, usually by losing their job or position.
