Inspiration

Moby has stated that the song was inspired by quantum physics in that "On a basic quantum level, all the matter in the universe is essentially made up of stardust." [ [http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1452825/20020311/story.jhtml "Moby Cavorts With Gary Coleman, Todd Bridges In New Video"] from MTV, accessed March 12, 2002.]

Music video

The song's music video, directed by Joseph Kahn, points out the excesses of the typical "Hollywood" lifestyle, showing celebrities in seedy environments, while Moby, an outsider to that world, is portrayed as a spaceman. Both Moby and any celebrity on the screen lip-synch to the song. The atmosphere of the video was inspired by photographs by Philip-Lorca diCorcia. The theme and some of the imagery also derives from the 1968 film and novel, "", particularly the Star Child motif ("We are all stars") and the Moby's appearance throughout much of the film wearing a space suit.

Celebrities in the video include:

* Kato Kaelin
* Verne Troyer
* Corey Feldman
* Todd Bridges
* Gary Coleman
* J.C. Chasez
* Dave Navarro
* Sean Bean
* Dominique Swain
* Ron Jeremy
* Thora Birch
* Tommy Lee
* Molly Sims
* Angelyne
* Robert Evans
* Leelee Sobieski
* The Toxic Avenger

The video won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Cinematography at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards.
