The music video was filmed in Santa Cruz, California and was directed by Scott Marshall. In the video, vocalist Steve Harwell keeps having nightmares about seeing a beautiful woman (Stacy Sanches), waking when something embarrassing happens (first a dog urinates on him and the next time he steps in gum) and the woman laughs at him. However, in the last version (in which he is still wearing pyjama pants and slippers), she joins him and he awakens to reveal the two in bed together.
