[edit] Music video

The video is a parody of the George Lucas film THX 1138, and was rarely seen before being released on Greatest Video Hits 2 and the band's official YouTube page. Both Taylor and May openly expressed disdain for the video in their commentary for it, with Taylor claiming the song's message had nothing to do with "fucking robots".
