The music video features 56 shots in the first minute to match the fast pace of the song. The first shot shows a character skating down the road and the second is a close-up of the radio host speaking into a microphone. A key shot shows the lead singer getting dressed in costume. As the intro dialogue speeds up, the shots get faster. Later shots include a record spinning, the band members with a silhouette, and the lead singer being yelled at by a villain.

The fact that the spider is on the flag promotes the album as the spider is on the album cover. The shots change on every beat played on the bass drum. <br />another shot shown is a medium close up shot of two of the band members with a part of the silhouette of a man in the left hand corner of the screen. <br />this is another medium close up shot of the lead singer being screamed at by the “villain” in the video. This creates the feel to the rest of the video as later they will fight him. <br />The music video fits in the with four key media concepts, it addresses the audience by following the story throughout. Also they narrative from this music video continues through to there next video. The genre of the video fits in with the music as it is dirty and the description from dr death in the beginning follows the song throughout. The video represents the music as shots change in time with the beat. <br />
