The music video features incredibly exaggerated puppets from Spitting Image, the British satirical puppet show whose puppets also starred in the music video for the 1986 Genesis song Land of Confusion", which addressed similar societal issues.
Along the way, the puppets skewer billionaires, newsroom censorship and dismissive music critics before the video closes with a nod to the famous bone-and-satellite cut from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
