Music video

Directed by Chris Applebaum, the video starts out with an homage to the opening of Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It". Dee Snider, the lead singer of Twisted Sister, plays the role of the angry father (originally portrayed by Mark Metcalf) who verbally abuses his son for his lack of authority and uncleanliness. After the father leaves, the son throws a pool party for his friends, and as hijinks ensue, they're intercut with shots of the band playing. The video features synchronized swimming and an appearance by a girl in a yellow one piece bathing suit lounging on a red pool float that resembles the album cover of A Place in the Sun. The video ends with the band leaving in a limousine. Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker and Tom Delonge of Blink-182 have a cameo as naked partygoers, continuing the streaking from their video "What's My Age Again?"
