Music Video
There are two music videos for the song. The first one involves a young girl playing with a very dirty doll in a strange woodland. After several seconds the band appears and starts to play the song. As the lead vocalist Mr. Lordi sings, it seems that he is trying to convince her to join him and his band. She eventually approaches him and gives him her doll and he sets it alight, showing her the truth of his monstrous nature.
Towards the end of the song, she seems to consent to joining them and grins manically.
In the 2006 version, the band are cadavers which appear in a morgue. While listening to the radio(in which the DJ announces the song about to be played), two surgeons are investigating a burnt corpse (actually guitarist Amen. An assisting woman turns to face a mirror to get some equiptment for them, and sees Awa in the mirror behind her, and turns around to face her, but Awa isnt there. She then notices that Amen starts breathing, and he grabs one of the surgeon's wrists. He than gets up, drags the surgeon where the other two can't see, and all that we can hear is the surgeon screaming in pain. Thesecond surgeon investigates, but Kita appears where Amen was. While the assistant is screaming, the surgeon tries to escape through the doors, but is killed my Ox. As the assistant turns around to face Mr. Lordi, who has just appeared, the other band members appear next to him, playing their instrumentsher and the rest of the video goes very much the same way as the first (minus, of course, the woodland and the doll).
