Music video

A screenshot from the music video.

The video version of the song seems to have some added audio. During and onwards the lyrics "They say all teenagers scare the living shit out of me", there are piano notes playing in the background in the style of western music. The album version of the song does not have these notes playing until the coda. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

The video has several references to the film version of Pink Floyd's The Wall (Gerard Way is even seen wearing a patch that looks to be the 'Hammer Cross' emblem from the film on his sleeve, an emblem featured prominently in the "In the Flesh?" and "In the Flesh" sequences of the film, which this video most strongly resembles, but this has been disproven, as it is only a large 'T' similar to the ones seen on the cheerleader's uniforms).

The video is also strongly reminiscent of the video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by grunge rock band Nirvana from their CD Nevermind. The use of a high school setting, the use of cheerleaders, as well as ending with the assembled students storming stage scene, have become synonymous with the 1991 Samuel Bayer hit video. The music video was posted by the band via their YouTube channel on May 30 and has since then been one of the most watched video on YouTube obtaining over 30 million views. This version of the video only cuts out the word "shit". The MTV version differs from the YouTube version slightly, notably the teenagers breaking in was cut out in the MTV version, as in certain incidences was the guitar solo by member of the band Ray Toro. The video has debuted on Total Request Live. The video also premiered in Canada on June 26, 2007.
