Will Butler's 'What I Want' Music Video Stars Jennifer Morrison and Perry Farrell

The video has Butler and Morrison, who is perhaps best known for her role in the TV series House, going on a date of sorts in a punk bar overrun with teen kids causing havoc. The couple finds a ray gun that turns these uncontrollable punks in to "boring parents," one of which is played by Farrell.

Director Brantley Gutierrez gives the video a very frantic and dark, '80s arcade vibe that compliments the song very well. Camera shots are shaky and sped up as the kids play video games, jump on couches and get into fights while bright lights flash and illuminate the dark bar. Watch the full music video below.

"What I Want" is off of Butler's 2015 release, Policy, which has the multi-instrumentalist breaking away from his involvement in the Grammy Award winning band, Arcade Fire, which he plays in alongside his brother, Win Butler, who fronts the band. Will is still very much involved with the band but Policy marks his solo debut and shows a different side of his musical abilities.

Fans can also watch a behind the scenes video via Nerdist, which has the actors talking about how awesome the very young kids were and their enthusiasm with dressing up as punks. Butler described how one 6-year-old kid came in and knew right away that he wanted to shave his head into a red Mohawk.

As for Butler himself, he said he was pretty much the furthest thing from a punk kid, given that he wore his hair pretty short and never smoked cigarettes. Watch the full behind the scenes video below.
