The music video for "Bones" marks the music-video-directing debut of film director
Tim Burton. Clips of the band were shot August 17 and 18, 2006, and were edited together along with
CGI backgrounds and characters, including a Burton staple: skeletons. Actors
Michael Steger and
Devon Aoki star in the video. Scenes from the films
Lolita,
Creature from the Black Lagoon, and
Jason and the Argonauts, more specifically the scenes with
Ray Harryhausen's skeleton-men, are shown behind the band. There is a sequence where
Flowers' hand is replaced with that of a skeleton. The beach scenes from
From Here to Eternity and
10 are recreated with skeleton figures. The leading couple are seen driving onto the beach where the girl removes her hair to reveal her skull and the man pulls off his shirt to reveal his skeleton. The two leading skeletons are later seen running across the beach to embrace, only for them to crash into one another and shatter to pieces. Then, on the beach, a wave comes over to reveal the two skeletons kissing. At the end of the video, the entire band are skeletons, and they all fall apart at the song's final note. The drive-in depicted unofficially is that of the West Wind Las Vegas Drive-In Theatre located in North Las Vegas, NV. The clothing worn by the band in the video was preserved in an exhibit at the Las Vegas
Hard Rock Hotel and Casino's entrance cafe before the cafe was demolished in late 2019. At the 2007 Shockwaves
NME Awards, it won the award for best video. ==Awards==
