Clips
The video for the song was shot by Bret Simon on April 25, 2007 in Los Angeles , showing how the group performed “at a dinner party for one person” [3] .
The video begins with cooking images, such as seasoned human fingers with spices. A beautiful, lonely girl sits at a table full of food, who enjoys food and looks at the group's game. Each musician is chained to a wall with a chain. The cannibal woman watches the performance and occasionally rings the bell, and then “cooks” come up to one of the members of the group and take him to kill, cook, season and present to the lady. Further, this member of the group plays on a fiery background, symbolizing the color of the oven, with vegetables in their mouths. The remaining musicians play while the woman eats fingers and other parts of their comrades. But instead of getting enough, the lady becomes even hungrier and begins to crawl along the table, grabbing food with both hands. By that time, only Josh Omm was left in front of the table. Watching this, he tries to throw off his chain, but to no avail. Having reached the edge of the table, the girl looks the musician in the eye and rings the bell. Later, Omm joins the “group in the oven”, and the lady lies on the table, having eaten up, but not stopping to eat.
Liam Lynch also shot the official alternative version of the clip. It was posted on queensofthestoneage.de on May 30 and was shot by Liam with his money (that is, without a label), but as soon as she left, the label immediately took it and made the official version of the clip for Germany. The video, along with Lynch, Josh Omm, and Wendy Ray Fowler (a member of the Queens of the Stone Age Burn the Witch video), was shot in front of Lynch's house, without a film crew. Later, a similar animation was added to the Go with the Flow clip.
