The B-sides to the single "Side" by Travis included two tracks taken from the Glasgow Barrowlands gig in June. They are "Driftwood" and "All The Young Dudes", which was originally written by David Bowie for Mott the Hoople and features lead vocals by Dougie. Another issue of the single includes a Bob Dylan cover of "You're a Big Girl Now".

The video for the song has a UFO theme, similar to "The X-Files" television series. At the end of the video, the band are abducted by aliens while they are performing out in the desert. Fittingly, the clip ends with a newspaper article regarding their disappearance, which coincides with the sightings.

Since the inception of YouTube, many fans have made their own music videos as a tribute to the song / band. [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ioTJ4hl0zw&feature=related YouTube - Broadcast Yourself ] ]
