Trivia/Info
- Video directed by David Cowles and Jeremy Galante; animation by Brad Pattullo and Jeremy Galante; backgrounds by Arianna Palmer and David Cowles. The video is in a similar style to "Put It To The Test" from Here Comes Science and "Thinking Machine" from Why?. It also contains references to TMBG videos of the past.
- The figure in the wasteland in Livello 3 is Hammurabi from The Mesopotamians.
- The first Livello 10 (there are two) looks like the Don't Let's Start music video.
- The term "mission creep" refers to the expansion of a project or mission beyond its original goals. It's usually considered undesirable because it can lead to the dangerous path of each success breeding more ambitious attempts, stopping only when a final, often catastrophic, failure occurs.
- "Viaggio Nel Tempo", seen in the upper left of the video, is "Time Travel" in Italian.
- "Livello" is Italian for "Level".
