Not a clue...someone will have to ask him next time there's a chance

Oh yeah, good point!  That's a good question to ask.

The movie was written by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask and here's how that specific song was supposedly written:

 

Mika never mentionned "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" anywhere (as far as I know?) so I don't think that Origin of Love has been inspired by its eponym from the musical/movie, but it's still interesting to make connections right?

 

 

I remember googling  Origin of Love and finding "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" song online too but although I liked it, I would have rather heard Mika's At that time, all we knew was the title of the album or song

 

 

I actually came across the Hedwig and the Angry Inch song on youtube for whatever reason, but after the album came out, and it's only then that I made the connection   Now I'm left I wondering if Mika knows about this musical and if he ever made the connection himself

i researched this for the Origin Of Love's Mikapedia entry:

"The Origin Of Love" is also the name of a song from the stage show Hedwig and the Angry Inch (1998) and subsequent film (2001). Stephen Trask wrote the song, which is based on a story from Plato's Symposium. In the 2012 Google+ Q&A with fans Mika talked about the song, saying that he’d heard it but the Hedwig song didn’t consciously influence his.

 

 

here's the video, MFC's own Nas asked the question

I had no idea the question had already been asked. I should have thought of looking for an answer in the Mikapedia   Thank you
