[edit] Music video
The video starts with footage from the 2007 MuchMusic Video Awards; of the band and Chadam walking down the street, with screaming fans on the sidewalks, and an interviewer asks "You guys gonna get all wasted tonight? Up to your normal antics?" Bert responds, "Nah, we're a little partied out, we'll probably try to take, take it easy and chill out afterwards," after which a huge party is shown with the aforementioned antics being performed throughout. Jeph Howard also appears as a cross-dressed prostitute in the video. In one of the videos, he flashes the camera. (In the version edited for YouTube, there is a star at that part that covers up his "area".) At the end, the piece of dialogue at the beginning is repeated with the added afterwards by the reporter: "What are you guys wusses or somethin'?".
