"[7] The single's accompanying music video shows the band playing in a small furniture shop, clad in masks.

This is intercut with images of dancers in Zentai suits which are then unzipped at the end to reveal beings made of space.

The single's B-side, "Crying Shame", was first performed on 19 December 2004 at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre.

The key was changed during the 2005 tour, and the studio track omits the riff found in the earlier live version.

NME gave the song a score of 8.5 out of 10, describing it as "dirty funk guitars rub[bing] saucily against a Prince-ish falsetto over a pink leather couchette".

[9] Andrew Perry of The Observer wrote that the song "thunderingly mixes Automatic-era Jesus and Mary Chain with a Prince-like funk, and boasts lyrics like, 'Oo, baby, I'm a fool for you' – not the doings of a gothy navel-gazer.

On 8 May 2008, the song was released as downloadable content for the rhythm game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, along with "Stockholm Syndrome" and "Exo-Politics".
