Music Video
Due to its success, "Slam" became the first Pendulum song to have a music video. It is also the only song from their Hold Your Colour album with a music video and the only song that Pendulum has made with Breakbeat Kaos with a music video. Directed by Adam Brown, it was released in 2005 and last a total length of four minutes and nineteen seconds (4:19). The video used the "Prelude" track from Hold Your Colour as an intro. The video is about a man (John Dough) wearing a suit and holding a duffel bag (as seen in the CD single cover) who, after taking out a copy of Hold Your Colour and putting a "Slam" CD into his portable stereo, is seen dancing in public to the track with his suit off and his tie tied to his head. In the end of the video, where the man is wearing a Pendulum / Breakbeat Kaos shirt, he gets his stereo and his bag stolen; in an attempt to try to get them back, the man accidentally "slams" into a street pole, ending the song. The video also features cameo appearances by the members of Pendulum.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“As polishing expresses the vein in marble, and grain in wood, so music brings out what of heroic lurks anywhere. The hero is the sole patron of music.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
