Music video

[edit]

The music video was directed by Gore Verbinski, director of such films as The Mexican, The Ring, and the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Verbinski liked the song so much, he asked The Crystal Method if he could direct the video for it. Wes Borland makes a cameo appearance as a man using a pay phone. Fitness expert Billy Blanks Jr. starred in the video as the silver man. Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan also cameo as the two men in line after the silver man gets his drink.
