Death by Sexy is the title of the second album by the American rock group Eagles of Death Metal. It was rumoured to be released in summer 2005 but was pushed back to April 11, 2006. However, a fully produced version was leaked onto the internet prior to its release. The leaked version contained a different version of "I Want You So Hard (Boy's Bad News)".
The music video for "I Want You So Hard (Boy's Bad News)" features a Jack Black and Dave Grohl cameo in the bar during the video. Black plays the bartender; both wear cheap wigs, and the band's trademark music (specifically Jesse Hughes' guitar) blows away clothing, including Jack Black's shirt. The album received favorable reviews with All Music Guide calling it "thoroughly trashy fun".
The album cover of Death by Sexy has elements similar to the covers of Mötley Crüe's 1981 album Too Fast For Love and Loverboy's 1981 album "Get Lucky".
The track "Don't Speak (I Came to Make a Bang!)" featured in a 2008 Nike commercial directed by Guy Ritchie, which included the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo, Cesc Fabregas and Ronaldinho.
