Music Video
The music video for "Mulder and Scully" was directed by Gerald McMorrow and features the band performing at a venue intercut with scenes of life on a tour bus at night. All the while, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully—played by look-alikes—investigate the area around the concert with flashlights. Eventually, the agents begin passionately kissing while Catatonia plays their song on a stage. The video was filmed at T.J.'s, a famous rock concert venue in Newport, Wales. A call was made for fans of the band to arrive and play the part of the audience. The entire video shoot took a full day to film. The video for "Mulder and Scully" was extremely popular; according to Billboard magazine, the video for "Mulder and Scully" received "heavy rotation" and was played "30 to 35" times weekly in the United Kingdom. The video was heavily promoted in the United States, due in part to its direct allusion to The X-Files, and received decent airplay.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always greater than its performance—Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, for instance, is always greater than its performance—whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being performed.”
—André Previn (b. 1929)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
