Simple video, but the song's good enough to work with it. Btw, here's the section on Wiki about the song's music video, in case you (like me) didn't know what was going one:
Quote:
On June 23, 2011 it was announced that hip hop artist, Kreayshawn was picked to direct the music video. Kreayshawn told MTV that she was shocked when the band's label contacted her management about directing the video. She said she went to film school but never thought it would translate to something this big.
On July 30, 2011, the band took to the rooftop of a building in Venice Beach, CA to shoot a second version of the music video with director Marc Klasfeld.
On August 14, 2011, actress Melanee E. Nelson discussed the concept of the Kreayshawn video. Nelson was told by a Warner Bros representative that the video is unlikely to be released and that the band was going in a different direction. Nelson said the video took place in a 90's underground setting where she played a girl who knows everyone and features many antics with a geek type character. Nelson said the geek character's drink gets laced with something so there were fantasy scenes involving a goat and it raining inside the club. She said she also heard animation was going to be added later. Each band member also played different characters in the video. Chad played the bouncer, Flea played the bartender while Anthony and Josh play paramedics.
The video will make its world premiere in the United States on August 17, 2011 at 7:53pm Eastern Standard Time on MTV and will be followed by a live Q&A with the band on MTV.com. The band decided to go with the Marc Klasfeld video and it is unknown why they opted to re-shoot the video with another director.
Director Marc Klasfeld spoke about the concept behind the video saying it was simple and iconic. He said that Anthony Kiedis was inspired by The Beatles rooftop performance of Get Back. Klasfeld said of filming on a rooftop that they were a bit worried because they had no saftey net and worried about the band going to far to the edges but they were professionals and had no problems.

Kreayshawn's version sounds like it would've been a total mess...
