The Darkness, 'I Can't Believe It's Not Love (Acoustic)' -- Song Premiere

You're probably used to the Darkness' head-banging, theatrical, sex-fueled rock, but this acoustic version of their new tune "I Can't Believe It's Not Love" takes the volume knob back down from 11 to a smooth, bongo-driven level.

The new cut is like Queen for the new millennium, but instead of ridiculous key-changes the Darkness opt for a deeper crooning. It's also a great message -- true love is better than fake margarine, canola-oil love. It Just Is.

"'I Can't Believe It's Not Love' is a song about something that has all the superficial qualities of love but actually isn't," singer Justin Hawkins tells Spinner.

"It's considerably better for your heart than full fat love, but just isn't as satisfying. It's easier to spread than love but once you've tasted the real thing, you realize that getting real love out of the refrigerator and just waiting is time well spent. Or something."

Stream "I Can't Believe It's Not Love" above and stay tuned for the Darkness' latest album "Hot Cakes," out Aug. 21 via Wind-Up Records.
