The video begins with a rainy outside view of a bar, said to be "Somewhere in Brooklyn". The scene moves inside the bar and various patrons are seen congregating on the dance floor. An old CRT TV advertising karaoke with Comtek branding is shown next, and the song begins. A female patron (portrayed by Julia Vasi) steps up to the microphone on stage and begins singing the song. Various happenings of bar patrons are shown, some aligning with the lyrics of the song. After the line "across the bar sat the hip-hip purist", Tyler Lyle and Tim McEwan are seen conversing at a table, their only appearance in the video. After the first chorus, a male bar patron (portrayed by Daniel Di Amante) is seen taking a seat at an empty table. As the song progresses, the camera continues to alternate between shots of the TV displaying the song lyrics and patrons beginning to take note of the women singing on stage. Eventually, everyone begins singing along with the song and they make their way to the dance floor. The man and the woman on stage lock eyes, and begin to dance with each other as other the other patrons dance around them as the credits roll and the video ends. | The video begins with a rainy outside view of a bar, said to be "Somewhere in Brooklyn".

Lyrics
Day-trader in a tie-dye jumpsuit
And a gutter punk kid with a neck tattoo
Hooking up at the unisex bathroom
It was Brooklyn
it was Friday
it was love
Across the bar sat the hip-hop purist
Arguing with the jazz obscurists
And in the corner were the terrified tourists
Brooklyn. Friday. Love.
Angel choirs on the corner all night
Sing Johnny Cash and Jackson 5
Little heaven you can stumble into
We got your invite tonight
Don't try to fight it
Oh, it's just Brooklyn on a Friday
Don't try to fight it
Oh, it's just Brooklyn on a Friday
They come from Mississippi and La La Land
New wave hippies and the pop goth glam
It's just 'cause parents don't understand
It was Brooklyn
It was Friday
It was love
From this roof you can see the stars
We are the left bank dreamers
And the avant garde
I'll sing my borrowed song on your borrowed guitar
It was Brooklyn
It was Friday
It was love
Angel choirs on the midnight G train
Some Beastie Boys and Kurt Cobain
Revolution you can learn to dance to
With a friendly face on the way
Don't try to fight it
Oh, it's just Brooklyn on a Friday
Don't try to fight it
Oh, it's just Brooklyn on a Friday
Bushwick Avenue
Bedford Avenue
Franklin Avenue
I'm on my way
Where are you
Don't try to fight it
Oh, it's just Brooklyn on a Friday
Don't try to fight it
Oh, it's just Brooklyn on a Friday
Don't try to fight it
Oh, it's just Brooklyn on a Friday
Don't try to fight it
Oh, it's just Brooklyn on a Friday
It's just Brooklyn on a Friday
It's just Brooklyn on a Friday
Bushwick Avenue
It's just Brooklyn on a Friday
Bedford Avenue
It's just Brooklyn on a Friday
Franklin Avenue
It's just Brooklyn on a Friday
I'm on my way
It's just Brooklyn on a Friday
