Music video

Three girls wearing yellow raincoats, large glasses, and teal shorts jump on the variously colored rings on the floor at the beginning of the "Shangri-La" music video. As the guitar kicks in the girls start dancing. It then goes into a room where the band is playing, and soon the band is on the floor playing their instruments. The rest of the video switches from different scenes of the band playing and the girls dancing.
