As if their name alone doesn't already hint at this, One for the Team have a healthy sense of humor. That's a good thing because when you're in a band, on the road, it helps. "We see a lot of bizarre things," frontman Ian Anderson admits to Spinner. "Generally, we pull over to the side of the road and take a quick photo of the four of us standing next to the Corn Palace or in front of a sign that, when read aloud, sounds absurd."

Those photos might be perfect for the box set one day but, in the meantime, when the band went to film the video for 'Garden,' they were in Paris where they encountered countless attractions that were a lot more iconic than they were strange. "So, the video," explains Anderson, "is a series of snapshots in front of the infamous landmarks that populate Paris."

That's not to say that the video isn't still a little bizarre. It's just that the oddities aren't the background objects, per se. Watch it after the jump and you'll see what we mean.
