Music videos

The video for the single shows the band in a 360° revolving room and on a train where objects act as if the train is rotating. The band said that the video made them feel ill and they felt like wetting themselves. It was directed by Michael Palmieri.

Another music video was also aired on MTV2 on the program Video Mods that featured Darth Maul, Boba Fett, Darth Vader, and General Grievous in the place of the real band members. The video also featured clips from the video game Star Wars: Battlefront II.

Other versions
gollark: It's fuzzily defined, somewhat niche as a concern anyway, and rarely actually encoded into law.
gollark: Also the rest of the government I think. Similar to the US's many mass surveillance laws.
gollark: The "investigatory powers bill" is also rather bad but many countries have the same sort of thing nowadays, so the awfulness isn't very unique.
gollark: If you like that you'll love UK knife law!
gollark: You pay for BBC content online and any broadcast live TV, apparently.
