"El Capitan" is about being the captain of your own ship, and how people may have problems with their crew. The video has a nautical theme. Though the band doesn't appear as people in the video, each of the band members appear in doll form (the characters are made of wire and cardboard).
"When see the video, you giggle and laugh," Winter said. "It's a lighthearted take on a heavier topic."
Many of the scenes allude to the Mexican Gulf oil spill last April. "The song was written during the Bush administration, but during the filming the BP oil spill was a big problem. It's a theme that never goes away," he said.
Winter said that the video fits the song well because the song itself is a dancy, fun pop song with dark undertones. "It's a sing along," he said. "It's light and fun."
The "El Capitan" video premiered last night at the Anahiem International Film Festival.
