Themes
It is a parody of boy bands and love songs. The middle eight parodies this:
Viewed by a jealous moon
I proclaim my love for you
But you say "Darling, wait
Isn't this just the MIDDLE EIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT???????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
A music video was released showing the Drugs in battle with a stereotypical boy band.
