Music video

"When It's Over" is a song about having feelings for a person after the end of a relationship in which there were repeated breakups before. The music video (directed by McG) features segments of each band member's fantasy about a music video for the song, ending with the band partying and riding scooters on the beach. Stan Frazier's portion is first, and consists of the band performing on a soundstage which he then destroys. Murphey Karges' portion is next, and shows the band performing in a club as an Irish punk rock group. DJ Homicide's portion shows the group visiting a strip club. Rodney Sheppard's segment portrays his love of kung fu, as he fights Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as Bruce Lee in his yellow jumpsuit in an imitation of their fight in Game of Death . Mark McGrath's segment is last, and has the band in the 1980s imitating Duran Duran's "Is There Something I Should Know?" music video, incorporating elements of "I Ran (So Far Away)" by A Flock of Seagulls and "Cars" by Gary Numan. Sugar Ray's mascot, the bulldog, is also shown at the end of the music video in a brief cameo. A scooter accident can be seen near the end of the video (right).

An alternate music video aired on Cartoon Network, directed by Mark Marek and Ric Heitzman, with the band members depicted as cartoon characters. Frazier was dressed as George Jetson from The Jetsons and playing golf, while McGrath was playing basketball. This video premiered on June 4, 2001. [1]
