Redundant (song) - Music Video

Music Video

The music video for "Redundant", directed by Mark Kohr, is an homage to Zbigniew Rybczyński's short film Tango. It features the three band members performing the song in the middle of a home. The camera angle remains static for the whole duration of the video.

In the background, several people repeat various mundane tasks for the duration of the video:

• A newspaper is thrown from offscreen.
• A woman stretches her arms and yawns, and then collects the paper and leaves.
• Someone takes a painting off of a wall and replaces it with a new one; then someone else comes in and replaces that painting with the one that's just been replaced.
• An old lady walks in and tries to find her way out.
• A young girl walks from the left side of the screen, places a box on the coffee table next to the couch, and then climbs out of a window.
• A man in a green suit jacket walks around, picks up the box from the coffee table and leaves.
• A man in a cowboy hat walks around.
• A woman in a bright red dress (Dita Von Teese) removes her dress and then walks away in nothing but her bra and underwear.
• A balding man comes in, puts on a pair of trousers, then leaves.
• A woman with a large pot and a plant walks around.
• A man and a girl walk towards a couch and begin making out.
• A man is vacuuming.
• A young girl in a skirt comes in through a window, looks around, and leaves.

The activity peaks near the middle of the video and declines near the end. Tré and Mike leave, but Billie Joe takes the newspaper before the woman can reach it, causing her to scream, and in some aspect, breaking the "routine".
