Opinions Won't Keep You Warm at Night - Music Video

Music Video

The video portrays a date between fictionalized versions of United States President George W. Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, with former Australian Prime Minister John Howard tagging along. The three are played by actors with large cutout masks.

Bush, portrayed as a frat boy, picks up Blair (shown as a female in a pink dress) and her little brother Howard and takes them first to a diner (where Bush and Blair share a milkshake while Howard stuffs his face with ice cream), then to the Saint Kilda foreshore, a fairground, and finally a drive-in movie, drag racing North Korean Leader Kim Jong-il along the way.

After the movie (Gulf War II – This Time It's Pathetic), they proceed to queue outside a nightclub. Bush spots Dick Cheney at the head of the queue and abandons Blair and Howard to join him, leaving them to walk home alone. Inside, Kisschasy are playing. Bush disrupts their performance by jumping up on stage and dancing. He then attempts a stage dive but no one catches him.

Members of the band appear in various roles throughout the video.

Guitarist and creator of the video Sean Thomas said it has nothing to do with the actual song. "I just wanted to make my own South Park," he said in an interview.

Commercial TV networks, however, have largely played an alternative video clip for the song on their music television programs, filmed at Western Sydney International Dragway, during a drag racing meeting.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:

    ... the majority of colored men do not yet think it worth while that women aspire to higher education.... The three R’s, a little music and a good deal of dancing, a first rate dress-maker and a bottle of magnolia balm, are quite enough generally to render charming any woman possessed of tact and the capacity for worshipping masculinity.
    Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.
    Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
