Hooverphonic - "Mad About You"

"Mad About You" is a song by the Belgian band Hooverphonic. It was released as a single in 2000 prior to the release of Hooverphonic's third studio album, The Magnificent Tree."Mad About You" is often considered as the band's masterpiece, and its biggest worldwide success.

The song features a sweeping string arrangement that typifies the trip-hop genre. It is also similar in style to a Bond-style movie theme, with its dramatic orchestration and lyrics.

The song is about a forbidden love, an idea also conveyed in the video, with the lyrics of "Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be so mad about you".

This is a soundtrack for two movies: New Best Friend and A Lot Like Love.
