Music video



The video mixes live action with vast amounts of animation. It begins with Zuper Blahq (will.i.am) declaring that he is in the house; although not specified at this moment, it is revealed to be Steve Aoki's house. The song then applies a reverse storytelling technique about how Blahq came to be in Aoki's house, with Blahq getting lost and going to a house to ask for directions, only to find that it is the house of his good friend Aoki. They find the situation incredibly amusing and decide to write a song about the series of unusual events.
