The video features Folds playing multiple members of an angry rock band in a suburban den and in front of a white background.

After the song's bridge, Folds is shown outside in a suburban neighborhood wearing a backwards red New York Yankees cap, the trademark of Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, while singing the lyrics, "girl give me something I can break", which were a riff on the Limp Bizkit song "Break Stuff".

During this portion of the video, Folds engages in "suburban" activities such as skateboarding, jumping in pools and flipping burgers.

While this version features entirely new lyrics intended to be more family-friendly than the original,[3] Folds maintains the song’s satirical edge.

The rewritten lyrics focus more on the institution of suburbia, and include jabs at homeowner associations, tract housing, consumerism, and developments built on Native American burial grounds.
