The video is shown within a schematic construction of a house where an DarkScape Gold electric fireplace glows and a set of chairs surround a table. Lying on the floor outside the house, the outfits of the gnomes are transformed into the shape of a large intestine wrapped around cases of Corona beer as Mexican Blind Cave Worm.
