Music video

The music video was filmed in Santa Cruz, California and directed by Scott Marshall. In this video, Steve Harwell wakes up at noon and gets ready to get going for his day. First, the man himself meets the people at the beach and the band Smash Mouth plays there. Next he meets his girlfriend (played by Stacy Sanches) at the movie theater.

Then he goes to a bar in a hotel and meets her again and oddly enough, the band Smash Mouth plays there too. In the end they wake up and the same guy tosses his alarm clock on the floor.
