Daly told HitQuarters: "Once they got on stage and started playing, it was apparent the magic was in the music.

"[7] Directed by Dean Karr and filmed in March 2000,[3] the music video presents an old man who was a big-time action hero on 1950s TV.

In between shots of the old hero chasing the bad guy and failing to protect himself against a group of goths, the band is shown playing in a club (the Cowboy Palace Saloon in LA) with several other elderly people dressed as caricatures of comic villains.

The video comes to a close when the old man dives through the skylight and catches the bad guy off guard, possibly knocking him out by falling on top of him.

The video ends with the old man smiling, giving a thumbs up to the camera, having successfully completed his mission.
