Music video

The music video for "100%" was directed by Tamra Davis and Spike Jonze. Much of the video footage is shot by Spike while riding on a skateboard following others in the streets (including actor Jason Lee). The video also alludes to the shooting death of their friend Joe Cole, but is not specifically about him, and more about friendship between two skateboarders. Sonic Youth is shown playing a house party throughout the film. Kim Gordon plays a yellow Fender bass guitar, which she borrowed from actor Keanu Reeves.Fact|date=June 2008 All of the video was shot in Los Angeles, California.
