The music video for this single was directed by
Chris Hopewell, who has also directed videos for several other bands. On October 16, 2008, it was announced on the Offspring's official website that the video would debut Friday, October 17 at 3:00 pm Eastern/12 noon Pacific on
Myspace.com. As in the videos for "
Hammerhead" and "
Hit That", the video contains large amounts of
CGI and does not include any footage of the band performing the song. However, unlike "Hammerhead" and "Hit That", the video also contains live actors recorded by camera mixed in with the CGI effects. The plot follows a peasant working in a garden in a
dystopian future. Suddenly, a
nymph appears and gives the peasant a magical, golden acoustic guitar and he begins strumming to the song. He enters town and plays for the locals. The magical abilities of the guitar make the peasant a sensation, earning him much-needed money and causing various townsfolk to start dancing uncontrollably. The peasant then plays for
plague-infested townspeople, and they are cured by the magic of the guitar. In return, he demands from one of them her expensive necklace while the nymph looks upon him disapprovingly. The peasant moves on to a very expensive hotel but is denied entry based on his appearance. He plays more to earn money for a nice suit. He buys the suit, enters the restaurant, and begins to play his guitar for the wealthy
socialites, for more money. The nymph appears and punishes the peasant for his selfishness by first forcing him to dance alone to the music and then dragging him into the ground through a whirlpool. The guitar lands on the floor and dissolves into leaves at the end of the song. == Personnel ==
