Its also one of the first music videos to utilize 3D animation, the first video played on MTV of Europe, and was parodied by Weirld Al.Something extra about this song: The lyrics complaining about how easy rock stars are was not written by the band.
The guys who animated it, Rainmaker Entertainment, are currently working on the Sly Cooper and Ratchet & Clank adaptations.
You can also hear Sting in the intro.
Mark Knoplfer was in an appliances store, where two workers were complaining how easy rock stars had it getting millions by being flashy and slinging a guitar around while they barely made a living by moving TVs and microwaves.
Mark hid back and wrote everything they said. Then he re-arranged it into a song.
I'm not sure I know a better example of irony.
