[edit] Music Video

The video was directed by Michael Palmieri, who also directed the video for the previous single, "DOA". The music video's was filmed in Duarte, CA, with lead singer Dave Grohl crossing Route 66 (Huntington Dr.) to a "Sushi for Less" restaurant. A series of odd events occur, including being waited on by a male Asian double of Grohl, fellow Foo Fighters band members Nate Mendel and Taylor Hawkins balance table implements, Grohl humming and singing along to his own song being played on a radio and television, and an extended daydream sequence where Grohl envisions himself in the snuba suited toy in the restaurant's aquarium with a mermaid, who resembles the restaurant's waitress. It premiered on British television long before it premiered in the United States.
