It has been used in various movie soundtracks. The music video for the song, directed by Chris Applebaum, is a parody of the heavy metal documentary "Heavy Metal Parking Lot". It begins with a teenage boy, played by drummer Jason Sutter and his friends cussing about how the heavy metal genre and its artists should be praised. The video then begins, flashforwarding between a storyline about a girl who acts subservient to her boyfriend, not knowing about his cheating escapades, and the band performing.
