There’s something about the video for Len’s “Steal My Sunshine” that’s just very comforting to me. I don’t think it’s just nostalgia, because this is how I felt when I first saw it back in the 90’s, too.
The song’s music video—which uses the shorter “album edit” of the song, as featured on the single—was jointly directed by Marc Costanzo and Bradley Walsh under the respective stage names “The Burger Pimp” and “B-Rad”.[30] When Len had signed to Work Records, one of its demands was to be able to direct its own videos.[7] The group used a $100,000 budget to make the video. They flew to Daytona Beach, Florida[5] with two dozen friends while the area was crowded with people on their spring vacations. They spent much of the budget on alcohol, buying so much that they broke their hotel’s elevator trying to lift it.[5] They shot the video in the afternoon so that they could recover from hangovers in the morning and drink in the evening. The scenes were shot without a script or storyboard. In the video, Len and friends are shown relaxing together and riding on scooters, go-karts, and jet skis.
Motorrad, whose scooters were included in the music video, later held a promotion giving away scooters of the same model.[7] At the 1999 MuchMusic Video Awards, “Steal My Sunshine” won awards for Best Video, Best Pop Video, and Favourite Canadian Video.[32]
