[edit] Music Video

The music video is set in a Hispanic town and tells of a love story of two lovers. However the girl had a jealous boyfriend (who happens to be a Mexican wrestler) who smashes her lover's hand (which is replaced by a record needle). Both men tell this incident to their respective friends and meet in the town for a showdown (where a guitarist also happens to be telling the story to a few locals up to that point). The man and the wrestler meet and settle things with a best of three in rock, paper, scissors. The man wins and is reunited with his lover as the town celebrates. In the end, it is all shown to be a dream of a sleeping dog.
