A triumph of imagination and creativity over budget, this classic Jonathan Ogilvie clip cost $250 to make. Coloured cellophane and a projector provided the psychedelic look on the musician's heads. The performance shots capture Straitjacket Fits on of a truck going through the Lyttelton tunnel. Shayne Carter's snarl is supported by an almost-mullet — apparently self-styled. Otago Daily Times writer Sean Flaherty wrote of the song: “builds into an amphetamine rush, speeding in angry bravado before subsidizing to fake bathos … then, more guitar thrills, choir boy harmonies and a suitable fadeout".
