Music video
The music video features a dream sequence of a geeky man, who is sunbathing on the beach and wearing a raincoat and orange speedos. He spots a young woman in her bikini on a beach house behind him, and she invites him into the house, into an all-girl's party. Many shots and the setting are resemblant to Aphex Twin's Windowlicker video. At the end of the video the viewer finds out that he was daydreaming and that when they think that he was kissing a girl he was actually kissing his dog.
The same beach house was used for the Bear Hug video by The 2 Bears.
