In this final season of Glee, one has to wonder why they're going down this road of putting out the worst of the worst talent... but the Powers that Be work in mysterious ways, I suppose.

A promotional video making the blog rounds today features Chris Colfer of Glee screeching his way through The Darkness's classic "I Believe In A Thing Called Love," accompanied by Adam Lambert, the American Idol contestant that everyone loves to hate.

Adam and Chris take center stage in this mid-season premiere, in an episode titled "Frenemies." "This episode is "about the relationship of all the characters that are friends" but particularly those experiencing "drama," like Rachel and Santana, and of course Kurt and Adam's character, Elliot, who have a bit of a blossoming romance on the go, Adam revealed.

"I Believe in a Thing Called Love" is a song by English rock band The Darkness, released as the third single from their debut studio album, Permission to Land. When released as a single in September 2003, it peaked at number two in U.K. Singles Chart, just behind The Black Eyed Peas' Where Is The Love?. Lead singer Justin Hawkins performs much of the song in head voice. Like most of the band's tracks it is influenced by '70s Glam Rock like T.Rex and Slade.

In March 2005, Q magazine placed "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" at number 47 in its list of the 101 Greatest Guitar Tracks. It is also placed 493 on The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born on Blender magazine. Most recently, it ranked at 276 of Pitchfork's 500 Top Tracks of the 2000s and was ranked number one for Classic Rock Magazine's list of "The Greatest Rock Songs Of The Noughties". The song was also named the 94th best hard rock song of all time by VH1. The song peaked at #1 on the U.S. iTunes rock chart and at #67 on the Billboard Hot Digital Songs chart in February 2012, after Justin Hawkins appeared in a commercial during the Super Bowl XLVI.

And now, to remember how AWESOME the song REALLY is... here's the original track.
