The single's music video, directed by David Weir, represented the first time the band has released an entirely animated music video. The clip is suitably moody to match the pace of the song, and follows the adventures of a crown-bearing dog and a living wooden cart (shown on the single cover) as he or she explores an island.

The song was included on the album r.e.m.IX, and also performed on MTV Unplugged in 2001.
