[edit] Music video
The music video for the song was filmed in England by Shynola.[1] The video was highly successful and was nominated in three categories at the MTV Video Music Awards, and eventually won in Best Special Effects category.[2]
The video features the band performing on the back of a truck, which eventually crashes into another truck. This storyline is interspersed with sexual imagery of women, and the car crash can be seen as a metaphor for sex.
It features revolutionary visual effects. The footage was shot in a studio; the desert background was added later.
[edit] Video game usage
The song was featured in the video games Freestyle Street Soccer, SingStar Amped, Juiced 2, Gran Turismo 4, SingStar Rocks! and Rock Band as a playable track.
