Music video

"Party version"

A first video was made in June 2005 in Los Angeles, California. Directed by Olivier Gondry (brother of director Michel Gondry), this video depicts the band performing the song, "at a fancy dandy party where people are drunk and dancing and having a great time", while the camera is going around the band and the crowd and stopping in different places in rapid motion. A total of thirty-five DV cameras, set up by Gondry and his crew, were used to achieve the desired panning effects.

"Tour version"

Another video was released through the band's website only available to their "Juggling Club" members. This features live performances interspliced with the band lip-syncing the song in various parts. This was directed by Scott Keiner and was probably made in late 2005 or early 2006 during the band's tour.

"Wallpaper version"

A third video was made to promote the single release. This version is known as the "Wallpaper version", as it has the band and a large group of extras (described as "a large contingent of LA's most talented weirdos") in zentai-styled bodysuits that match the wallpaper on the wall of the set in which the video is filmed. Co-directed by Damian Kulash, Mary Fagot, and James Frost, it is perhaps the most well-known music video for the song. The video was premiered on MTV's Total Request Live on February 15, 2007 with all day premieres on MTVu and MTV Hits.
