The music video features David Beaudoin, the same boy from the "Love Generation" and "World, Hold On" videos, as well as two young girls. Throughout the video, these actors parody many famous popular songs, artist, and otherwise notable pop culture references. In order, the references are as follows:[1] Tom Cruise during the dance scene in Risky Business, Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" music video, AC/DC, Eminem, Bob Marley, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sean Paul, The Beatles' performance on The Ed Sullivan Show, Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" music video, John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, and Michael Jackson's Thriller music video. Bob Sinclar appears during the music video as a neighbor next door who comes to the house's door step to complain about the loud music being played by the boy in the house.
