Music video
The music video was filmed along the shores of Avalon Beach, Vic, Australia on 5 September 2008, directed by Ben Saunders. The first half of the video shows lead singer Richards riding a bicycle through a secluded waterfront neighbourhood whilst saluting the locals.
The band's drummer, David Williams, is cheerfully showing his skills on a penny whistle whilst going alongside Richards for a few metres, only to then be pushed and chased by Richards until knocked to the ground. We see Williams on his knees, holding his lower stomach area in pain.
After placing his bicycle next to a shed, he appears with the rest of the band members, continuing down the road whilst simultaneously playing instruments.
Towards the end of the song, we see the locals dancing in unison to the music, walking off into the distance.
