The music video featured a drum set with the words "The Killers" on it, which was the inspiration for the name of the American rock band The Killers. It also inspired The Killers to shoot the video for their first single, Somebody Told Me, in a similar style, using projections that mimicked the light panel in Crystal.

Famous quotes containing the word crystal:
“In a few days I’ll have lived one score and three days in this vale of tears. On I plod—always bored, often drunk, doing no penance for my faults—rather do I become more tolerant of myself from day to day, hardening my crystal heart with blasphemous humor and shunning only toothpicks, pathos, and poverty as being the three unforgivable things in life.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
