Music video

The video, directed by Dean Karr, starts with Jason Mraz performing a concert. We then see him walking (in dog slippers) on some sort of farm. He then grabs a set of car keys and gets in his "Mrazda." He then calls a whole bunch of roosters to get in the car. He pulls away from the farm and begins to drive through a neighborhood. He continues to perform on stage. He then omeng to walk on a sidewalk. While on the sidewalk he makes eye contact with a girl holding a basket of eggs. The girl slips on a banana peel and drops all of the eggs. He continues to walk on the sidewalk. While walking, he grabs a flower from the ground and slips the flower into the barrel of a soldier's gun. He then runs into two twin boys and he lets them try on his red hat. He continues to perform and the camera switches back and forth between all previous shots. The video ends with him getting out of his car and he tips his hat towards the camera.
