According to Matt Sharp, the video was filmed on [[Rod Cervera]]'s black-and-white 16mm camera on a budget of less than $500[https://twitter.com/_mattsharp/status/1171489880930578432][https://www.pastemagazine.com/noisetrade/music/the-rentals/sep-24-2007-daytrotter-studio-rock-island-il]. The video portrays the band as vaguely Eastern-European setting, with the song's lyrics subtitled in Russian. According to Sharp in an interview with Matt Pinfield on ''120 Minutes'', the idea came from "[Sharp] and [[Tom Grimley]] playing so much Intellivision" and suggested that, because Sharp was already on the DGC label with Weezer, they decided to "make it so we weren't even from this country and I didn't have anything to do with anything from America at all." [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5S-1Mt8DJs] Sharp, during this period, would put on an Eastern-European accent during appearances such as Weezer interviews and at the 1995 Video Music Awards. A still from the video shoot was used for the ''Return of the Rentals'' album cover. | ||
