Background
Referencing the stream-of-consciousness lyrics that didn't need to make sense. Example: 'Big Bang Baby.'"[3]
Music video
The music video features the band performing in a white room. It was an intentional pastiche of videos from the early days of MTV, which were mostly shot on videotape rather than film, and most directly evokes the look of The J. Geils Band's "Freeze Frame".[4]
