The video for the song was directed by Ryan Ratajski and features a Spinal Tap -esque mockumentary produced by "documentary filmmaker Rob Piner" (a reference to This Is Spinal Tap director Rob Reiner) [22] where four rappers play the parts of Korn: Lil Jon as Jonathan Davis, Xzibit as Fieldy, David Banner as David Silveria, and Snoop Dogg as James Shaffer. The real Korn appears at the end of the video as representatives of "Fony Music", complaining about how the music video isn't going to sell because it lacks "bling-bling" and "booty shakin'". There is also a section in the video featuring 'Jonathan' recording vocals in "Big Rick's Studio", a reference to metal and hip-hop producer Rick Rubin, as Big Rick himself as he appears in the video bears a resemblance to Rick Rubin.
The rappers have jokingly noted in interviews that "It might be a [new] band coming towards you". [23]
