As the villain spends time with his picturesque family, he can't get the hero off his mind. As soon as the next work day starts, he rushes back to execute the hero to banish the thought of him from his mind... only to realize that he can't bring himself to do it, and he instead releases the hero, and they each realize that they're in love with the other before retiring to a peaceful domestic life together.

"Genghis Khan" is a 2016 song and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_SlAzsXa7E video]] written, produced and performed by Swedish indie pop trio Miike Snow and distributed by Creator/AtlanticRecords. The song is a catchy pop number about jealousy and ambivalence in a romantic relationship. The [[ConceptVideo video]], however, is a four-minute homoerotic tribute to TuxedoAndMartini spy movies.
