Music Video
The music video for Warning premiered on MTV in January 2001. It was directed by Francis Lawrence and shows the life of a young man (Whose punch-in card reveals his name to be John Earle) who does trivial but dangerous things during his day. The video starts off with the man waking up at 6:30. He sleeps on a dirty mattress wearing a dirty pair of white pants and socks. His house is untidy and his kitchen is dirty. At the end of the video, he returns home late at night. Because he left on his appliances, the popcorn machine has overflowed, the lights are all on and his toaster is burning. He returns to his bed for night, throwing his clothes on the floor. When the man has gone to sleep,his clock switches back to 6:29.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
