There's nothing we love for that some good old Chinese food, especially if we get a free Chinese fortune cookie.
We assumed The Killers were the same, but it all went a bit pear-shaped when they found the lyrics to one of their songs in a Panda Express fortune cookie. The 'fortune' read, 'Smile Like You Mean It' which is the lyrics to one of the band's most famous songs.
The band called out the Chinese chain on Twitter saying, 'I'm thinkin' orange chicken for life and we'll let you off the hook for using our stuff.'

'Smile Like You Mean It' is one of the best known songs of their 2004 album, 'Hot Fuss' which makes it all the more appropriate to demand free chicken for life as royalties. Panda Express then gave the shitest reply of all time in response;
.@thekillers When it comes to #OrangeChickenLove, we always mean it.

What does this mean though? Regardless, once the internet gets heed to something like this they take notice and the band received some gas replies thanks to good old Photoshop and some quick wit;

If you really do get orange chicken for life, the joke might still be on you. #DiarrheaForLife
