[edit] Saying

At the beginning of the song, Chad Gray keeps saying "All work and no play makes me a dull boy". This is a reference to The Shining. The band has stated in numerous interviews that Stanley Kubrick is Mudvayne's favorite director.

[edit] Video

For the video the band made a green screen contest in which they record themselves in a green screen and upload it to their website so that anyone can do their own version of the video and upload it. The best video wins the contest.
