Music video

Directed by Chris Applebaum, the video starts out with an homage to the opening of Twisted Sister's We're Not Gonna Take It. Dee Snider, the lead singer of Twisted Sister, plays the role of the angry father (originally portrayed by Mark Metcalf) who verbally abuses his son for his lack of authority and uncleanliness. After he leaves the father's son throws a pool party for his friends and as hijinks ensue, their intercut with shots of the band playing. The video ends with the band leaving in a limosine. Fellow pop punk band Blink-182 make a cameo in the video, appearing as they were from their video "What's My Age Again?".

In popular culture

  • The song is featured in the opening of the 2000 sports film The Replacements, where Shane Falco (played by Keanu Reeves), is playing football underwater.
