[edit] Music video
The video begins with the lead singer of the band, Gabe Saporta, stepping out of a car that has broken down on the side of a desert road. He looks at a bar called The Fat Pussy Cat and walks in as the music begins playing. There are exotic dancers on stage when he walks in and he walks to the bar and orders a drink. It cuts to a shot of Gabe playing a game of poker with 3 other men in the same bar. They catch one of them cheating by hiding a card under his watch. The other members of the table begin beating him up as Gabe takes the money left on the table, giving some to a dancer and buying another drink. In a shot a second later, Gabe is seen slurping something as the bartender says, "You drank the worm?!" and begins hallucinating.
Gabe is next seen with women mud wrestling in another room. Back in the bar, a man in a red suit walks in with 2 women. He soon takes a pool stick and begins playing as Gabe is seen dancing with a woman. A man walks out of the back room with a bikini-clad woman following him, walks up to the man in the red suit and slaps him.
Gabe is in a crowd of people that are breaking apart a piñata including a group of cheerleaders. He exits from them into a back of the room of the bar with women coming out from behind curtains including a person in a bunny suit. He is seen doing something sexual with the bunny in a dark room. They begin doing things together such as driving and playing hide and seek. They are seen at their Jewish wedding later on. The video ends with his wife handing over a plate of food in a trailer, letting food fall off with "Bring It (Snakes on a Plane)" playing on the radio in the background. There are bunnies all around Gabe signifying his children with the rabbit.
