The music video was directed by Eric Fogel, showing the band performing as clay figures akin to the style of ''Celebrity Deathmatch''. Manson is dressed in the same outfit as he wore in the "[[Rock Is Dead]]" music video. The video begins as a standard performance by the band, but a pair of conjoined monkeys watching a TV with mechanical legs is then seen. The monkeys begin to run after the TV as it runs away from them, but later the TV runs after them, and eventually the monkeys' heads are replaced by a large television screen. The music video ends with the walking TV lying broken. | The music video was directed by Eric Fogel, showing the band performing as clay figures akin to the style of ''Celebrity Deathmatch''.

| − | Though ''Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes'' was officially released in 1999, the song was originally worked on some time during the Antichrist Superstar sessions. This version's lead composer was [[Daisy Berkowitz]] and is musically quite different from the final version, being more in line with Daisy's signature style rather than the industrial metal style John 5 would eventually bring to the song. It is also interesting to note that the lyrics in this version are significantly different from the 1999 version. | + | Though ''Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes'' was officially released in 1999, the song was originally worked on some time during the Antichrist Superstar sessions.
