The music video, based on 1970s-era pornographic tropes, was directed by Ben Taylor, and premiered on Dragonette's official YouTube channel on June 26, 2007.[2] Dragonette described the video as "very saucy".[3]

gollark: It probably isn't optimal but you know.
gollark: ```scheme(define forgiving-grudge (lambda (x y) (let* ( (defection-count (length (filter (lambda (m) (= m 1)) x))) (result (if (> defection-count 3) 1 0)) ) result)))```As far as I can tell this consistently wins.
gollark: I fixed it except now my thing plays itself at some point and recurses infinitely.
gollark: It has a child process. This is ridiculous. It lies.]
gollark: This is still not working, I may need to change tactics.
