Details Release Date: Apr 11, 2006; Lead Performance: Eagles of Death Metal; Genre: Rock

Innuendo set to power chords is only supposed to be funny once (see Darkness, the) but Death by Sexy, an impressively stupid side-project follow-up from Eagles of Death Metal, Josh Homme and falsetto-voiced Jessie Hughes, has enough new sex puns and recycled Stones hooks to defy the odds. ''I Gotta Feelin (Just Nineteen)'' and ''I Want You So Hard (Boy's Bad News)'' will have you grooving and giggling without crossing the ''Weird Al'' line into parody while, musically at least, everything's played with admirable seriousness.
