Music videos
Two music videos were made for this song. One showed the band members in a car, kidnapping people in the middle of the night. At the end of the video, the kidnapped people were revealed to be Eskimo Joe themselves. When Kavyen Temperley was a guest on 'The Glass House', he offered that this symbolised that Eskimo Joe had changed, and the kidnapped band were the old Eskimo Joe. The second video shows the band playing in an old building. Due to the criminal theme of the first video, it received an MA15+ classification in Australia, restricting it to night-time airplay. The second promo clip was made to enable the song to be played by daytime music shows.
