"Our whole thing was, 'How do we make a video that's going to be fun and interesting to watch?' because nowadays you could buy a video camera for $500 and make a video that looks as good as anything in the '90s," Antonoff tells Spinner. "We have a lot of friends in L.A. who are comedians and writers, so we just put the song in their hands. We loved the idea of playing a random part in the video -- we thought it would be cool to play characters and then have the band portrayed by six-year-olds."
It makes for an instant classic that's a throwback to the golden era of music videos. There are lots of laugh-out-loud moments, but unlike the drunken host of the fictional 'Up Late w/ Al Scalzo,' we won't spoil the surprises. You're just going to have to watch it for yourself below.

This video was shot in LA on June 18th. My son (Courtney Lindsey) is the lead singer of the kid band. He had two days to learn the song. The original band members were great! Good luck with the CD.
