Music video[edit]

Directed by Dave Grohl, the music video depicts the band as synchronized swimmers with their faces deepfaked onto each swimmer. Their coach played by Jason Sudeikis begins with a 4 minute speech berating them before going out to perform for a group of judges in a competition. The end of the video pays homage to the Baby Ruth incident from the film Caddyshack where the group finishes their routine with a perfect score until one member defecates in the pool causing all the judges to start throwing up and the coach runs out of the pool area with a frightened expression. Pat Smear, who is shown in a hazmat suit cleaning the contaminated pool, finds the feces on the floor and eats it.
