Music video

The band have released a video for the song, in which they drive various cars, being chased by a black van. At the end they are caught and given a suitcase that glows as gold when opened and they remain speechless.[2] Like the promo video for "Vlad The Impaler", this one also has a more humorous nature. In one bit, they are seen riding a five-seater bike, with Noel Fielding dressed up as Vlad the Impaler
