Music videos

A music video for the song "Ladies of the World" has been released by Sub Pop records. It is available on the Sub Pop YouTube channel.
In the video, Bret and Jemaine skate around a beach in a parody of "cheesy" 70's music videos. When they reach the hermaphrodite lyrics, the camera zooms in on a bulge in a woman's swimsuit. When the music fades back in at the end of the song, Bret and Jemaine "fly" into space; Bret flaps his arms and Jemaine uses his vest as wings.
