Music video
The song begins with Zuper Blahq declaring that he is in the house, although not specified at this moment, the person's house who he is in is that of Steve Aoki and this can clearly been seen in the video. The song then applies a reverse story telling technique about how Zuper Blahq came to be in Steve Aoki's house. Zuper Blahq became lost and accidentally went to a house to ask for directions; it turned out it was the house of his good friend Steve Aoki. They find the situation incredibly amusing and decide to write a song in the style of electro about the series of unusual events.
