Music video

The puppet from the video.

The video, directed by Charlie White, shows a life-size marionette or puppet who travels via ambulance to a hospital emergency room following a car accident at which he is initially examined by live actors as he sings the lyrics to the song.[1] The puppet's name, Norman, was coined by fans on Interpol's message board shortly after the video premiered.[2]
