Music video

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 chocolate candybar incident from the film Caddyshack, in which the candybar is mistaken for floating feces.
