## Music video

The music video for the song was directed by American director Evan Bernard, set in a Hispanic town and depicts a love story between a man and a woman. The woman has a jealous Mexican wrestler boyfriend who smashes her new lover's hand, which is replaced by a record needle. Both men tell this incident to their respective friends and meet in the town for a showdown (where a guitarist also happens to be telling the story to a few locals up to that point). The man and the wrestler meet and settle things with a best of three in rock, paper, scissors. The man wins and is reunited with his lover as the town celebrates. In the end, it is all shown to be the dream of a sleeping dog.
