The video depicts a series of Abraham Lincoln look-alikes in the White House, portrayed primarily by the band's lead singer Dick Valentine, but stand-ins were used for certain scenes. The music video, directed by Tom Kuntz and Mike Maguire, was shot in April, 2003 at a movie studio in Toronto, Canada. The song was featured in a Cabin Fever bonus feature. It remains among the band's most well known songs. While both the song and music video received significant airplay, various lyrics mentioning war were edited due to their possibly offensive nature since the song made its air debut at the start of the Iraq War. It was the second single off their debut album, ' Fire' released in 2003. Gay Bar is a song written and performed by the Detroit-based rock band Electric Six.
