[edit] Music video

The video starts with the band driving up to a casino with the song "Viva La White Girl" playing. After checking into their rooms, Travis McCoy makes his way down to the casino floor and runs into an Elvis impersonator, played by Pete Wentz, playing a slot machine. Travis engages in a game of strip poker with several girls, and seemingly wins, as he is the only one that remains dressed. It all turns into a party with Elvis performing on a stage. The members from Gym Class Heroes engage in a dance-off with four costumed figures.

Special cameos include the members of Panic at the Disco dressed as animals (Ryan Ross as the orange cat, Brendon Urie as the black and white dog, Jon Walker as the bear, and Spencer Smith as the seal), Keltie Colleen (Ryan Ross' ex girlfriend and Sugar and Spice dancer), Pete Wentz as Elvis, Patrick Stump is in the crowd toward the back, entrepreneur Johnny Cupcakes, and a possible reference to the Cobra Starship video for the song "Send My Love To The Dancefloor, I'll See You In Hell (Hey Mister DJ)" and "The Church of Hot Addiction" (The "Bunny").

The video gained the #1 spot on TRL on Thursday, August 2, 2007 beating out Boys Like Girls's "The Great Escape".
