Audiences noted a strong similarity between the costumes of the little people in the video and the Teletubbies, a children's show that was very popular at the time.
Sarah Michelle Gellar chose to appear in the video due to her affinity for the Stone Temple Pilots' music.
The clip was nominated for Best Cinematography on MTV Video Music Awards in 2000.
Singer Scott Weiland claims the look of the little people in the video were based on a dream he had.
