"Love Dies Young" is a song by American rock band Foo Fighters. It was released as the fifth and final single from their tenth studio album, Medicine at Midnight , on November 22, 2021. [1] It was the last single released during Taylor Hawkins lifetime.
Directed by Dave Grohl, the music video depicts the band as synchronized swimmers with their faces deepfaked onto each swimmer. Their coach played by Jason Sudeikis begins with a 4 minute speech berating them before going out to perform for a group of judges in a competition. The end of the video pays homage to the Baby Ruth incident from the film Caddyshack where the group finishes their routine with a perfect score until one member defecates in the pool causing all the judges to start throwing up and the coach runs out of the pool area with a frightened expression. Pat Smear, who is shown in a hazmat suit cleaning the contaminated pool, finds the feces on the floor and eats it.
