Music videos

The music video of "I Don't Wanna Know" features a parody band of The Beatles called The Butlers. The beginning of the music video has The Butlers (Ken, a parody of John Lennon; Bongo, a parody of Ringo Starr; Daisy, a parody of George Harrison; and Hector, a parody of Paul McCartney) in a concert with many screaming fans. The concert takes place on a stage similar to the arrow stage from The Beatles' appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. There is also a box seat with the Queen in it from the Royal Variety Performance. The first and third segments of the video are filmed in black and white.
