Music video
The music video, which was directed by friend and fellow musician "Weird Al" Yankovic, predominantly features a flipbook effect, in which a person is holding a flipbook in front of the camera and the footage is digitally transferred onto the pages. This animation is spliced with footage of the band performing the song in front of a green screen and painted hands (acting as puppets) singing and dancing to the song.
During one part of the video, the song can be seen being played on Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. The song was not in the game, but done specifically for the video.
