Music video

The music video to "Goodbye Mr A" is reminiscent of superhero comic books and popular culture, such as the 1960s "Batman" TV series. In the video, the band kidnaps the world's greatest hero, Mr. A, a comic-book character, and take his place fighting crime as incompetent anti-heroes. Despite being fired into space at the end, Mr.A survives.
