*"The Bulby Video" featuring the bulb from the single and album cover
* A third version, released on [http://www.queensofthestoneage.de queensofthestoneage.de] on May 30, was made by Lynch at his expense, i.e. without being commissioned, outside of the label, but once it was finished the label picked it up and made it the official video for Germany. The video which stars Lynch,Josh Homme , and Wendy Rae Fowler (in her fourth appearance in a Queens of the Stone Age video, among them "Burn the Witch ") was shot at Lynch's house in front of a green screen, without any crew. Later animation similar to the "Go with the Flow " video was added.References
