The music video for the German version, "Übers Ende der Welt", features the four band members as workers, walking through a futuristic but bleak city, along with a group of catatonic co-workers. They are all dressed in the same grey overalls while carrying large pipes. When the workers pass a corridor, they notice Tokio Hotel playing the song on a stage at the end of the corridor. The workers, including the band members in their worker-characters, run towards the performance and subsequently escape from the city by climbing up the walls of the sky-scrapers around the stage. Scenes of the catatonic workers in a dining hall, silently watching a test screen (which eventually explodes) are also included in the video. The video concludes with a shot of the band members (in their worker-characters) standing on top of one of the city's sky-scrapers, blinded by the sunlight.
The most recent version of the music video for "Ready, Set, Go!" is visually identical to the German "Übers Ende der Welt" music video.
In early 2008, an alternate music video for "Ready, Set, Go!" was frequently shown on The N cable television channel. The music video played in between commercial breaks. This version did not feature the band members portrayed as workers, but it did feature the band playing in front of the test screen seen in the original German music video.Fact|date=August 2008
