The songs narrative is a guy who falls asleep whilst doing homework and has a dream, which ties into the lyrics at the start. The song is part of the soundtrack to the film Loser. The video follows a stereotypical highschool student in America. 
The narrative is about him trying to attract the attention of a girl in the school but struggling because he is a 'loser'. It features performance footage of the band playing in the gym. He eventually gets the girl at a dance but then wakes up from the dream just as the disco ball is about to land on his head.
Lots of videos use a school as a background to there videos playing on student stereotypes and is also a realistic idea we look into as it's an accessible location. The video is pretty fast paced and there is diegetic sound included in the video as well as point of view shots and high angles.
