For this one, I flew out to Vancouver to hang with the wonderful people of Stick and Poke. I’d compare it very closely to the last Mischief Brew music video, with a much smoother execution. For that video, we didn’t rehearse the blocking as much as we made it up as we went. The actions in the background for that one were generally made up for each take. For this one, we actually spent an entire night rehearsing, running through several takes so we’d have it down pat when people showed up, and generally stuck to that pretty closely while shooting.

Originally our takes were coming in a bit fast, but once we really slowed down and paced ourselves through the house, we started nailing it. The Mischief Brew video took 14 complete takes, so the goal was to finish it in less than that. In the end we had 13 takes, 5 of which were passable as final cuts, and we narrowed it down to this one from there!

I was pretty bad for you and you were really bad for me
And sure it took some time for us to realize cold reality
I'm gonna head outside cuz I just might pass out
There's no room for me to think in the crowded little house, and I can't handle

[Chorus]
Oh, my God, not another awkward encounter
Oh, my God, my anxieties are in the gutter
Oh, my God, I think I need another cigarette
I think I need another cigarette

[Verse 2]
What you never understood was that my heart was somewhere far
Away through the woods and over the plains, where my family members are
But you'll never understand because that bridge was burnt up fast
It's claustrophobic in this room and I don't wanna pass, by you

[Chorus]
Oh, my God, not another awkward encounter
Oh, my God, my anxieties are in the gutter
Oh, my God, I think I need another cigarette
I think I need another cigarette

[Verse 3]
Now I know I'll see you at shows, and I hate the goddamn fact
It'll be so awkward that I'll wish I had stayed home and napped
I feel a fever coming on, I'm more comfortable on my own
And I wouldn't have come out if I had known

[Chorus]
Oh, my God, not another awkward encounter
Oh, my God, my anxieties are in the gutter
Oh, my God, I think I need another cigarette
I think I need another cigarette
