The song samples Doris Day's recording of "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" and "A Fool in Love" by Ike & Tina Turner.[5]
Music video
[edit | edit source]The music video was directed by Shane Mason and Mark Trethewey. It is made in an animated style, giving the rap duo comedically oversized heads and surrounding them with hip hop cliches, such as car, cash, and booty girls. The video was nominated for Best Music video at the 2004 New Zealand Music Awards, and also won best video at the 2004 bNet Music Awards and the 2004 Juice TV Awards.[6][7] The video also prompted the creation of a Special Commendation award for directors Trethewey and Mason at the 2004 Kodak Music Clip Awards.[8]
