Two music videos have been released for the song. The first, directed by Francesco Meneghini, was released in November 2009 and features an abstract remake of the Stargate sequence from 2001: A Space Odyssey.[1] A second video, directed by Timothy Saccenti, premiered in February 2010, and features the band performing to an exuberant crowd of people wearing paper bags painted with faces. As the band performs, the paper bags disintegrate into confetti.[2]
