Feeling most confident about the idea of the Beaste Boys track, we decided to use it for the video. Watching several other videos of the Beastie Boys, it was clear that the band aims to create a spoof as well as a tribute to older content, for example, Sabotage is a tribute to low budget 70's American cop shows, and their own music video of Intergalactic is a tribute to old Japanese monster movies like Godzilla. I came up with the idea as a way of making a tribute to sci-fi films like 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and 'E.T.' with some elements of 'Star Wars' and 'Star Trek' in the performance, as well as mocking society for its obsession with fame and success, and how easy it is for someone with little talent to become famous.
The idea came from a Good Charlotte video of the track 'I Just Wanna Live' where the band, dressed as different foods, become famous but quickly end up very unpopular for various reasons.
