Music Video
The music video for "Shangri-La" starts out with three girls dressed in yellow raincoats, big glasses, and teal shorts jumping on in the different colored rings on the floor. As the guitar kicks in the girls start dancing. It then goes into a room where the band is playing, and soon the band is on the floor playing their instruments. The rest of the video switchs from different scenes of the band playing and the girls dancing.
