Blythe spoke via his Twitter of the shoot and his encounter with one of the local denizens, offering:

“I fucking love Philly! I was just shooting a cameo in another band’s video & this homeless lady just busted into the shot & started booty dancing while yelling “THATS RIGHT BABY! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!” Then she asked me for some change & I was laughing so hard at her I gave her everything I had in my pocket. When I pulled out the change she was like “Damn! You are a SEXY white man! You make my teeth wanna drop out my mouth!” AND THEN SHE TOOK OUT HER FALSE TEETH AND THREW THEM ON THE SIDEWALK! HOLY FUCK! I almost just pissed myself.”
