Music video

In an interview, the band's frontman Brian Aubert claimed that "the clip is going to be weird. We're playing the song in a surreal Moose lodge, and then there's musical chairs going on with, like, eight Amazon-type gorgeous girls. Babes, I suppose." Aubert added, "They were actually playing musical chairs for a real prize. It got pretty ugly. Everybody in the room watching it was like, 'This is the weirdest thing.' All the girls are color-coded. In one way, it's bright and sort of silly, but the way we're looking at it is sort of depressing. In fact, I have to admit: it's by far the darkest video we've ever done."

The video was produced and directed by The Malloys and it premiered on MTVu on September 15.
