A music video was also produced, though is rarely recognized.
The song was first played live by the Red Hot Chili Peppers at a few concerts in August 2001 in Europe, but it was not included on the following album By the Way.

The second version of the single, with blue writing instead of red on the cover art, was never released in the UK due to last minute complications. Apparently the second disc was too long to be classed as a single, as UK Chart singles must not last over 20 minutes in length.
