Music video[edit]

The music video for "Sunday (The Day Before My Birthday)" was directed by Style Wars, who previously directed the video for Moby's "In This World".[1] It acts as a sequel to the "In This World" video, featuring the same alien characters from the video returning to Earth, this time being recognized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They become renowned celebrities and enjoy major success, including a television series. The end of the video shows the aliens piloting their spacecraft back to their much less stressful home planet.
