The music video was directed by McG and begins with them singing in a
royal court, featuring a singing girl on a wind-up pedestal, similar
to a scene from the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. During the
interlude they make an escape and sing while driving a lookalike of
The General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard (using the numbers 07
instead of 01 and minus the Confederate flag on the roof) and Starsky
& Hutch's Ford Gran Torino. The band drives into a suburb, where they
perform a concert in front of a trailer, with a female motorcyclist,
dressed like Evel Knievel, performing stunts. The video ends with a
shot of the cyclist stuck on a tree. The video features Carmit Bachar
from the Pussycat Dolls, playing an angel.
