Music video

edit

The video directed by Petro (The Academy Is, Rufus Wanwright) channels the best in space travel with alien strippers and an homage to Star Wars and its scrolling text intro. Rounding out the rockstar antics are the daredevils of Nitro Circus, including Travis Pastrana on his signature dirtbike.[2]

Song reference

edit

Some people consider the song to be inspired by the Douglas Adams character, Zaphod Beeblebrox.
