• Once again light bulbs are used.
• There is a picture of the band to begin with in the hall way.
• Natural light is used behind the main singer at the beginning.
• Guitars are used throughout the song.
• The majority of people are wearing hats.
• Braces are attached to the men's and women's trousers in the video.
• Foot stomping is once again a key factor.
• A disco ball is featured in this video.
• There is a big party atmosphere in this music video as all of the characters are in the same room.
• Other main instruments are the drums even though they aren't seen in the actual video and the tambourine which is seen.
• Like the previous two videos the main singer has a rustic voice which is rather deep.

Sound

• The guitar and the backing singers are the first things we hear and the tambourine slowly gets incorporated as well.
• The actual singing doesn't start till the 16th second.
• There is a constant sound of "Ho...Hey" in the background.
• There is a female singer in the song even though she is drastically drowned out by the males.
• Hand clapping is a big thing in this song and the banjo is also a key instrument.

Camera shots and Camera movements

• Tracking shots down the hall way to the main singer which eventually follows him down the entirety of the hall.
• Long shots are also used in that section of the song.
• A mid shot is used to show all the members in the band but this could also be classed as a wide shot as it shows all of the band.

Editing

• Slow motions are used when the main band member steps on the light bulb but once again like the previous two music videos, no other edits are used.
