Music video

The music video has been directed by Alex Courtes and produced at Partizan. It was premiered on the Channel 4 network on Channel 4 and 4Music and sees the band playing as a foursome, due to keyboardist Nick Baines being hospitalized due to appendicitis. The keyboards are present, but occupied only by Baines' hat and a sign "Gone to Hospital" (later by a sign "Back in 5 mins").

There was also a Fan Edition video released on YouTube before the album release with the song put to animations of art pieces done by Kaiser Chiefs fans who posted their work on the band's forum pages.
