Music Video

An official music video, directed by David Wilson, was uploaded online on August 14, 2017. ^[3] Set within a fast food restaurant called Grab My Junk (whose mascots appear to be the creatures depicted on the cover of the Junk album) It follows a dysfunctional nuclear family with the parents arguing with each other (lip synching to the song's lyrics), an easily distracted young daughter and their son who draws pictures of heroes and monsters. The drawings come to life in fantasy sequences where they lay waste to the restaurant. Eventually, the parents throw the drawings away after the boy gets into a brief argument with his sister and goes into one final kaleidoscopic fantasy sequence that ends with the boy letting out a huge burp.
