The music video of "I Don't Wanna Know" features a parody band of The Beatles called The Butlers. The music video features The Butlers (Ken, a parody of John Lennon; Hector, based on Paul McCartney; Daisy, based on George Harrison; and Bingo, based on Ringo Starr) in a concert with many screaming fans. The concert takes place on a stage similar to the arrow stage from The Beatles' appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. There is also a box seat with the Queen and Prince, played by Julian Lennon. The first and third segments of the video are filmed in black and white.
