[edit] Music video
The music video features David Beaudoin, the same boy from the "Love Generation" and "World, Hold On" videos. In this video, the boy "performs" the song (with two young girls) as Sean Paul, Bob Marley and as Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis, along with other stylised performances as John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, The Beatles and AC/DC. The video also includes parodies of other music videos, such as "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (Nirvana), "Cry Me a River" (Justin Timberlake) and "Thriller" (Michael Jackson). The video is very popular on YouTube where it has received over 8,000,000 hits. [1]
