The song's music video begins with a parody of the
Fox TV series
American Idol, which aired from 2002 to 2016, and the parody is called "Celebrity Icon", in which
William Shatner plays a
Simon Cowell style judge who becomes very critical of Paisley during his performance. The video features various parodies of reality TV shows, such as a parody of
Fear Factor, which is called "Scare Tactic", in which Paisley is eating a plate of
earthworms; a parody of
The Bachelor, where
Trista Rehn chooses the late
Little Jimmy Dickens over Paisley as her match; and a sitcom called "
The Brad Paisley Show", where
Jim Belushi makes a cameo appearance. Scenes also included Paisley driving his car, a
Ferrari. The video also parodies specific tabloid targets, such as
Michael Jackson. In one instance, Paisley is wearing a surgical mask as Jackson was known to do walking down the street with two masked children, played by Taylor Atelian along with co-star
Billi Bruno from
According to Jim, similar to the scene in the
Martin Bashir documentary
Living with Michael Jackson. The video also has an appearance by
Jason Alexander, who plays
George Costanza on the long-running
NBC sitcom
Seinfeld, in which he appears as himself at a
Starbucks (actually filmed at The Coffee Fix in Studio City), who steals a pastry and makes a scene with the coffee shop manager and employee over a "mocha soy latte". The last scene of the video shows Paisley stopping his car, where a man (Shatner) in the sunglasses comes in, claims it his car, and he asks Paisley about getting into the second gear. And then, Paisley finishes his song, where Shatner tells him that his performance was horrible, and how he (Shatner) enjoys when the song is over; a dejected Paisley then walks off the stage. The music video was directed by
Peter Zavadil and premiered on April 10, 2003 on CMT. It was filmed over a period of 5 days in LA and Studio City, CA. ==Personnel==
