comment
"Genghis Khan" is a 2016 song and video written, produced and performed by Swedish indie pop trio Miike Snow and distributed by Atlantic Records. The song is a catchy pop number about jealousy and ambivalence in a romantic relationship. The video, however, is a four-minute homoerotic tribute to Tuxedo and Martini spy movies.Not to be confused with Dschinghis Khan or the titular Genghis Khan himself.

Punch-Clock Villain: Literally. The supervillain has the secret agent Strapped to an Operating Table with a giant laser pointed at him ready to fire at the push of a button. Then the clock strikes 5:00 and he immediately drops everything and goes home for the day, leaving the secret agent there until the next morning, trapping him in his evil lair, much to his annoyance (and secretly, his relief).

Non-Indicative Name: Neither the song lyrics, nor the video have anything to do with Mongolian warlords. Genghis Khan is used as an odd metaphor for obsessive jealousy.

Obviously Evil: How do we know that the protagonist is a supervillain, and not just a respectable government operative dealing with a troublesome saboteur? Because he's completely bald, has a metal prosthetic nose, struts around in a military-style jacket with a High Collar of Doom, has a lair staffed by identically dressed minions, and attempts to execute people in high-tech, but inefficient ways, involving lasers.

Straight Gay: The supervillain protagonist. He can be a bit flamboyant in a Large Ham sort of way but he's not at all feminine. The secret agent as well.

Anti-Villain: The unnamed supervillain protagonist... possibly. The audience never sees him actually attempt anything evil on-screen, asides from putting off the murder of the secret agent he's fallen in love with.

Lyrics/Video Mismatch: The video and lyrics are both about complicated feelings around a romantic relationship, but the narrator of the song is concerned with feeling jealousy toward his female partner while not necessarily wanting a stronger commitment, while the video is about the protagonist accepting his homosexuality and beginning a relationship with his former enemy.
