Music video



The music video for the song, directed by Chris Applebaum, is a parody of the heavy metal documentary 'Heavy Metal Parking Lot'. It takes place in 1986 and begins with a teenage boy, played by drummer Jason Sutter, and his friends cussing about how the heavy metal genre and its artists should be praised while punk rock belongs on Mars. The band American Hi-Fi is jokingly referenced among other metal musicians. The video then begins, flash-forwarding between a story about a girl who acts subservient to her boyfriend, not knowing about his cheating escapades, and the band performing.
