The video begins in black and white and is quickly illuminated by the emergence of color. In the beginning, the bands lead vocalist and bass guitarist, Tyson Ritter, is getting a door slammed in his face by a pretty little bee, as he reveals rumpled, decrepit looking flowers.
Later we see Ritter bump into two police officers who don't take too kindly to being knocked around. They give chase and Ritter runs between a group of people who he then uses as a shield from the cops. The cops and the group then break it to spontaneous dance.
The antics don't stop there folks. A masked robber accosts a young woman while Ritter casually passes by and allows it to happen. The only aid he provides is by throwing back her bag when it takes to the air. Then, the robber and the assaulted lady break into dance formation! (At this point I'm simply laughing too hard!!!)
Further down the line, we encounter a 'Thriller' like setting with two warring groups fighting (more like dancing, but you get the picture) and Ritter stepping between them. They run him off and he ends up on the hood of a red car with black eyed inhabitants.
The video is strange but we like strange. Great concept and video, not to mention, great choreography! Well done guys!
