After releasing their latest single, “Get Famous,” last month, The Mountain Goats just shared the quirky new video to go along with it — their first visual in five years.

Directed by David Hollander, who was nominated for his work on Ray Donovan, the video turns the band into bobbleheads who are reminiscing their time as a band, which goes perfectly with singer John Darnielle’s lyrics about the pitfalls of fame.

More from SPIN:

The video also brings in some fun bobblehead cameos from Barack Obama, the Queen of England, John F. Kennedy, the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Jesus Christ, Uncle Sam and the Pope.

Mountain Goats previously released “As Many Candles As Possible.”
