Transcription
Music video
The video for "My Own Summer (Shove It)", directed by Dean Karr,[8] begins with a clip of a cage falling into the sea, and blood seeping out of it into the surrounding waters. It then moves to footage of the band playing on a set of floating anti-shark cages. Eventually, a shark appears and is seen to be eating a piece of meat, presumably the contents of the cage. The shots of the band are intercut with clips of Chino Moreno singing the lyrics inside of a diving helmet. At the end of the video, Moreno falls into the water and the video fades out.
The video was shot at Pyramid Lake, in Northern Los Angeles County, with additional footage of the sharks coming from the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.[9]
An interview with Moreno that takes place during the filming of the video was included on the DVD release of B-Sides & Rarities.
