I Believe in a Thing Called Love


Was anyone else in love with this song when they were younger?  I remember the first time I heard this song I was completely overtaken by how good it was.  It  had all the fun of actual rock and roll and the tongue and cheek to make fun of its obvious inspiration.  I remember talking about this song with boys at school, and all of us agreeing it was amazing.
Rewatching the video now, I'm struck by how skinny the lead singer is.  I find myself worried for someone's health when they're that skinny.  And his hair.  How had I never noticed this guy's kool-aid pink hair?  How the hell did he do it the way he did?  (God, don't tell me with kool-aid.) 
I love the concept for this music video: rockstars in space fight sea creatures.  I would kind of love to see a full movie along these lines, maybe with Jack Black.
