    Buffalo Bills fans have been singing Shout at Highmark Stadium for decades, but there’s a new song they’re playing that has the Bills Mafia making a new tradition.

    Now? It’s Mr. Brightside by The Killers, a song adopted by other sports fans over the years. So how did that happen? What’s the history here?

    Let’s go back to December of 2023. Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid wanted to hear it while playing the Dallas Cowboys, and the Bills’ gameday crew complied. It’s become a tradition since.

    There you have it. You’ll be hearing Mr. Brightside from the Bills and their fans weekly at home games.

  • Goo Goo Dolls’ Robby Takac releases Buffalo-themed Mr. Brightside cover


    BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — If you’ve recently been to a Buffalo Bills game, odds are you’ve loudly sung “Mr. Brightside.”

    Robby Takac from The Goo Goo Dolls told me there’s one problem with the song; it’s not by a Buffalo band.

    Takac is a Western New York native and a proud member of Bills Mafia.

    “I got caught up in it man,” said Takac. “I’ve got Bills Fever.”

    While Takac said he’s a big fan of The Killers’ original “Mr. Brightside,” he wanted to try out a version only sung by Western New York natives.

    Takac teamed up with the band Letter to Elise and other members of Bills Mafia to make his idea of ‘Buffalo’s Mr. Brightside.’

    Q: Why was that something you wanted to take part in?

    Takac: “It just sounded like fun to do. I was watching everybody get so excited at the games, and I thought to myself this would be a pretty cool thing to have some Buffalo folks getting involved in this awesome song that everybody is so excited about.”

    Q: Do you think there’s something different about the Bills this year, [compared to] the previous years?

    Takac: “I don’t know man. We’ve got our lawn chairs in the car for the parade in a few weeks, so we’ll see what happens man.”

    Takac spoke with 7 News reporter Derek Heid on Saturday.

    The Bills kick off their divisional round playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens at Highmark Stadium on Sunday.

    The winner will travel to Kansas City to face the Chiefs next week in the AFC Championship.





    The Goo Goo Dolls’ bassist Robby Takac has just released a Buffalo-themed cover of The Killers’ hit song “Mr. Brightside.”

    In the cover, Takac pays homage to his hometown of Buffalo, New York by incorporating references to the city and its beloved sports teams. The song features catchy guitar riffs and Takac’s signature raspy vocals, giving the track a unique twist.

    Fans of the Goo Goo Dolls and The Killers are sure to enjoy this fresh take on a classic song. Listen to Robby Takac’s Buffalo-themed “Mr. Brightside” cover now and let us know what you think! #RobbyTakac #GooGooDolls #MrBrightsideCover #BuffaloPride
