The shoot for the music video on January 26, 2000, caused the doors of the New York Stock Exchange to be closed. In fact the Stock Exchange locked its doors mid-day in response to fears of crowds gathering to watch the filming. This was not recorded as a closure as trading on the exchange floor continued uninterrupted.

"We decided to shoot this video in the belly of the beast", said (Michael Moore), who was detained by police for an hour and threatened with arrest during the shooting of the video, despite the band having a federal permit to perform. The band was escorted from the site by security, after band members attempted to gain entry into the Exchange.
