One of the best songs by the best band in the world. Seemingly shot mostly in Italy and maybe in the US, the clip has the feel of a breezy travelogue; the white-flash transition effect makes the burst of images look like a series of holiday snapshots. The visual arrangements pop out at you, with many subtle camera movements within the subframes. It keeps things light and energetic.
I'm especially fond of the shot with the four-way multiple framing of Barney looking happy and a little embarrassed. The guy always looks so intense and serious in most official photos, so it's nice to see him smile.
