From Wikipedia:
Henry Stowecroft, a student who represents the United States in the school's Model UN. Fed up with Jude, another student who seems to surpass him on every occasion, Henry goes after Carl, a shy student who mostly keeps to himself, by initiating a campaign of harassment. Within the UN, the U.S. declares war on Luxembourg, the country Carl represents. Henry has his lackeys block Carl from using the bathroom, pelts Carl with crumpled paper projectiles, gets the lunch lady to deny Carl food service, and plants contraband in Carl's locker and then reports him to school authorities. Molly leads a revolt against Henry by recruiting the rest of the Model UN to perform a protest song during a meeting of the club. Henry, defeated, flees the meeting, and the video ends with him buried in crumpled paper.
The notion of Henry, representing the United States, bullying a smaller country reflects the song's lyrical meaning.
The video contains numerous references to the 1998 Wes Anderson film Rushmore, and was the first video to ever be originally released for online distribution via BitTorrent.
