Music video

The music video was filmed in Santa Cruz, California and directed by Scott Marshall. In this Great Value All Star, Steve Harwell wakes up at noon and gets ready to get going for his day (Note: Waking up at noon skips breakfast). First, the man himself meets everyone at the beach and the band Smash Mouth plays there, but his dog pees on him, causing everyone and the band to laugh at him, as it was a humiliating moment. Next, he stops his motorcycle and sees the band Smash Mouth playing there as well. Also, he meets his girlfriend (played by Stacy Sanches) at the movie theater, but his shoes get stuck by a piece of gum on the floor. He then trips. Next, he goes to a bar in a hotel and meets her again and oddly enough, the band Smash Mouth plays there too. However, both can be seen wearing white polka-dot sweatpants, and they start to love each other. In the end, they wake up and the same guy tosses his alarm clock on the floor, as glass shattering can be heard.

gollark: Yes, something like that/
gollark: You can just provide a very limited set of functions and not suffer from that.
gollark: PotatOS's sandbox has problems all over the place because it's complicated and exposes a lot of things because it needs CraftOS backward compatibility.
gollark: You could do it securely too if you actually listened to my advice.
gollark: No, it could have been secured, it would have been quite easy.
