This thing called love I just can't handle it This thing called love I must get round to it I ain't ready Crazy little thing called love. This thing this thing called love called love It cries like a baby In a cradle all night It swings woo woo It jives woo woo It shakes all over like a jelly fish I kinda like it Crazy little thing called love. I gotta be cool, relax, get hip! Get on my track's Take a back seat Hitchhike And take a long ride on my motor bike Until I'm ready Crazy little thing called love.

Distributed by Sahamongkol Film International Co. Workpoint Entertainment The story depicts love in the eye of young people who first experience it and how it affects their lives and their inspirations. Nam is a bespectacled, swarthy girl who has a crush on P'Shone also known as Shone , a popular student in her high school, but she feels that he is too handsome for her. Helped by her three friends, Nam follows the advice of the guidebook Nine Recipes of Love , which supposedly has the magical power to win affection from the boy of choice. The nine steps require Nam to beautify herself by switching her glasses with contacts, wearing teeth braces, and whitening her skin, as well as secretly leaving a chocolate cake inside Shone's motorbike, though all of them seems futile in attracting his attention. Nam also has an additional pursuit of going to the United States , where her father works; he promises to Nam and her sister a plane ticket for whoever gets the top grade in school.

Having composed "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" on guitar, Mercury played rhythm guitar while performing the song live, which was the first time he played guitar in concert with Queen. I did that on the guitar, which I can't play for nuts, and in one way it was quite a good thing because I was restricted, knowing only a few chords. It's a good discipline because I simply had to write within a small framework. I couldn't work through too many chords and because of that restriction I wrote a good song, I think.
