Music video

[edit]

A music video was released in support of the single. The video clip features the band playing in a dome lit by fluorescent lights and was shot with over 125 cameras,[5] in what the band's website calls 'the ultimate performance video'. The video was directed by Joseph Kahn, with Chris Watts supervising the visual effects and the multicamera system.

This is the first music video from The Offspring to show Atom Willard playing the drums.

The music video appears on the Complete Music Video Collection DVD, released in 2005.
