of spinach. Development The video was shot across three days. The mansion selected for the video was owned by a girls school that allowed clients to use the building for movies and weddings, with Healy recalling that the same mansion was used for a Guns N' Roses music video. On the first day, the opening shot of the grandfather clock and Travis arriving to the party in tuxedos was filmed first. The second day was rainy, but filming took place inside the mansion, where Travis met the rest of the cast. At about 3 p.m., the filming of the main food fight scene took place and the cast was covered with food by the end of the day. As the filming proceeded, prints were made from the takes and placed on a storyboard so the directors could tweak the final product. Day three consisted of the closing pie flight, which was meticulously choreographed, as well as the remaining food fight takes. Healy wrote that after lunch, everyone on set got hit with pies, including the directors and their children. Synopsis and reception The video begins with the country house's residents preparing for the dinner party. As the grandfather clock changes to exactly eight o'clock, the main instrumentation of the song begins, and Travis are seen riding bikes in tuxedos. At the mansion, a young woman and a small monkey watch the band perform the song on a black-and-white television. She soon switches off the television and leaves. The band arrives at the party, and dinner is served, but Travis, puzzled about how to eat their refined meals, cause a few accidents at the table. The young woman tosses a solid piece of food at Healy, who retaliates in the same manner. The other band members also start throwing food, and the other dinner guests soon join the fight. The video changes to slow motion as a female dinner guest throws an entire octopus across the table that lands on a man's head. The video speeds up again, with everyone except Primrose participating in the food fight. A chef enters the dining room with a trolley cart containing the pies and is shocked to see the chaos. Everyone stops to stare at him for a moment, then throws the pies at him. Throughout the fight, Primrose is shown spotless, but at the video's conclusion, he too is sullied. The final clip
