My fav video of all time. Jonze had a brilliant idea

Fun fact: The music video was filmed in the lobby of the Marriott Hotel (now the L.A. Grand Hotel Downtown) in Los Angeles in December 2000. Directed by Spike Jonze

So was this a Dune reference?

Or a tremors reference?

I don't think we even have any relatively-reliable confirmation whether it's an intentional Dune reference. But it kinda seems like it couldn't possibly not be. I've seen "fan theories" that maybe all the lyrics in that song are at least metaphorical references to Dune, but that seems a little more of a stretch to me.

If they haven't definitively said, I'm going with Tremors

Neither. It's from a sample in the song.
