Music Video
The video directed by Jonas Åkerlund was shot in a house, and the band members wore make-up and 1920's outfits to give a ghostly feel. It also features Mark Hoppus playing a double bass, inspired by Phil Thornalley of The Cure's use of one in the video for the band's 1983 single "The Lovecats". In the CDs booklet, Hoppus states:
- I'm a really big Cure fan and one day, I was listening to their song " Lovecats", and I loved the idea of using a stand-up bass guitar and jazz brushes. So what we ended up doing was writing a song with all acoustic.
As a result of this, Mark had to use superglue on his fingertips as his skin was shredding off due to the number of takes for the video. In the album notes he states that the song was written 'all acoustic' and there is footage of him playing an acoustic bass in the "Cheetah" videos from when they were recording the album.
