The first single from Eagles of Death Metal's second album, Death by Sexy, arrived in 2006 with a title that doesn't leave much to the imagination. Jesse Hughes wrote "I Want You So Hard (Boy's Bad News)" with Josh Homme, who also produced, and it's a leering, hip-shaking boogie: fuzzed-up guitars strutting like peacocks, a stripped-down stomp of a beat and a vocal oozing cartoon lust.
The video is half the fun. Akiva Schaffer, the director behind Saturday Night Live's Digital Shorts and "Lazy Sunday", shot it, and his ties brought in Jack Black, his partner on the failed pilot Awesometown, alongside Homme and Dave Grohl, all three in wigs, plus Lonely Island cohort Chester Tam as a man whose clothes get blown clean off. The song later turned up over the credits of HBO's True Blood.
