Music video edit
In the music video, the manager of the band, Bär Läsker, forces them to found a new group called "Fanta 5" because of the falling sales, in which Clueso is a new member. While the other band members are sceptical, Fanta 4 member Michi Beck rejects Clueso and is quarreling with him in some scenes of the video. In other scenes the two are reconciling and dancing together.
