Though “What Is Love” has become synonymous with Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan’s hapless attempts at club-going on Saturday Night Live and in the 1998 movie spinoff A Night at the Roxbury, there’s something truly sad about the song. “Baby don’t hurt me no more” is Too Real. Or, at least that’s what the “What Is Love” video suggested to me as a child. Long before I came to my own conclusions about matters of the heart, I thought love - at least from where Eurodance sensation Haddaway stood - was all about giving in to blood-sucking dominatrices, dancing your way through scary places, and risking electrocution. “What is love?” may be the most complex question in all of pop music history.
