In Australia, "Four To The Floor (Thin White Duke Remix)" was ranked #70 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2004.

Music video

There are two different videos for "Four to the Floor." In the first one the band played in a scenario accompanied by the members of a symphonic orchestra appearing and disappearing according to the development of the song and the instruments.

The band seen as a graffiti.

The second one, which uses the Thin White Duke remix of the song shows a little person (it is not clear if it is a male or female, as his/her face is never featured in the whole video) making graffiti around a city. At the end of the video this personage is caught by the police that was pursuing him the entire video. The band members plays Four to the floor shown as some other graffiti painted around the places. One of the scenes in the video can be seen as the art cover for the Hard-Fi single Hard to Beat.

In Australia this video was also set to the album version/radio edit of the song.

The video also shows the images of famous Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara and Ben Byrne wears a t-shirt with the word "socialism" though there is not a clear connection between those images and the concept of the video.
