Music video
The music video for "The Good In Everyone" was filmed at Toronto Pearson International Airport and directed by Mike Andringa, who would later direct several more music videos for Sloan. The video's introductory scene is a spoof of the 1969 film, Easy Rider. In the scene, each band member plays a character from the film, with Andrew Scott playing Billy (Dennis Hopper), Chris Murphy playing Wyatt (Peter Fonda), Jay Ferguson playing Connection (Phil Spector) and Patrick Pentland playing the Bodyguard. The entire introductory scene before the music begins is longer than the song itself.
The music video received play on MTV's 120 Minutes.
