Live performances

Aaron performed the song by himself on the Nickelodeon show All That during the first episode of Season 7. He performed the song with his brother at the 2001 Teen Choice Awards where Aaron, dressed in a combat outfit, performed on a life-size record player and Nick coming out as a bohemian pirate.[1]
