Music video

The music video for the single was directed by The Malloys and features the band playing on a stage in front of a live audience. It features many jokes, ranging from "Typical Video Girls" to the band playing the song with animated oversized heads. The video also features a cameo by the three members of the Transplants (Travis Barker, Tim Armstrong, and Rob Aston) and Brody Dalle of The Distillers. It was the final video played on MuchUSA before the shift to Fuse. The scene after the 2nd chorus where guitarist Chad Gilbert moves very fast while the rest of the band freezes is a parody of System of a Down's "Toxicity" video.
