Music video

[edit]

The video is shot at Golden Oak Ranch in Los Angeles, CA, and directed by Scott Culver.

The video is set at Camp Holadios, a fictional summer camp. While the band members are all staying there, Forrest becomes interested in a girl who is also at camp. The campers play with pogs. The video is also reminiscent of the film Wet Hot American Summer. One of the references to this movie is when Forrest puts on the headband and sunglasses similar to the change that "Coop" undergoes to win the affection of a girl with the same name, "Katie". Chewing gum is another major reference, where campers in the film are seen chewing gum before they kiss. The camp name "HOLADIOS", written in all capital letters on the sign seen at the beginning and end of the video, can be read as HOLA'ADIOS, which is "Hellogoodbye" in Spanish, but the campers at the end of video are seen wearing t-shirts with the capitalization written as "HolaDios" which is Spanish for HelloGod. Below the camp's name on the sign it states "Summer of 91' ".

On numerous occasions during live shows, the band substitutes the second verse of the song with the first two verses of "Digital Love" by Daft Punk.

British DJ Chris Moyles performed a parody of the song called "Beer in Your Arms" on his show on BBC Radio 1 in the United Kingdom.[32]

South African singer Nicholis Louw recorded an Afrikaans version, "Hier Naby Jou" (Here Close to You).

Wizard rock band Ministry of Magic also recorded a filk of the song, titled "Here in Your Car", about Harry Potter and Ron Weasley's friendship as they are flying from London to Hogwarts in the Weasleys' enchanted blue Ford Anglia.
