==Music video== |
|||
The video clip was directed by Scott Speer{{Fact|date=October 2007}} and sees Lisa and Jess in a boarding school. The concept starts off with them marching off to class lead by a teacher with a whip while being watched by surveillance cameras with signs saying "no boys beyond this point" and vice versa. It shifts to The Veronicas holding each other while singing the first verse. Then the video shifts to them in a classroom full of students with blank faces. The chorus shows them singing on stage with their band while the audience is the students sitting in their chairs looking ahead blankly. In the second verse they are sitting in the toilets with large papers in front of them with flashes of the classroom scenes. The girls then get their friends together to start their rebellion on the school which sees them take over all the audio of the school and the classrooms. The video ends with everyone running out of the school. |
|||
In an interview with the ''[[Herald Sun]]'', The Veronicas discuss the original concept for the "Hook Me Up" video which had a sexy theme but was later changed after they explained to the director that this was not related to the message in the song. The director then suggested making the video about a school revolt<ref>{{cite news | title=Veronicas a polished act| date=[[2007-09-06]] | publisher=news.com.au| url=http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22367731-2902,00.html }}</ref>. |
