Music video
The official music video was released on 14 June 2013.
The music video follows a woman and a man with a mustache who appear to be lip-synching the song. Next appears a man dressed as a caveman with a furry skirt. He carries a box in with a lever that switches their hair to where there shouldn't have hair and vice versa. The caveman then presses the 'Automatic' button which continues the switching back and forth, also allowing him to perform a repetitive dance accompanied by a blonde female. After that the man picks the 'Ginger' option. This is followed by a cut-scene in which a red-haired lady climbs all over an orange (ginger), hairy armchair, with huge scissors and hairspray. Then after this scene the video returns to 'Automatic'. The hair reversal ends when the Asian woman blows and pops a piece of bubble gum.
As of May 5, 2020, it has over 13 million views.[2]
