Video

The video, which was directed by Paul Fedor, features a young man who constantly does things that cause him pain (including draping himself in meat and letting attack dogs maul him), but when a pretty girl arrives, she touches him, taking his pain away. At the end of the video they walk off together after two twins hit him with baseball bats. The video also featured footage of the band playing from the inside of a garage. For undisclosed reasons, the twins in the video bear a striking resemblance to Ari and Uzi Tenenbaum from the 2001 film The Royal Tenenbaums.
