Music video

The octopus entering the club in full dress

The music video for "I Love to Move in Here" was directed by Toben Seymour while Ross Reid served as the clip's cinematographer. It was released on YouTube and Vimeo on May 15, 2008. Set in New York City and soundtracked by a remixed radio version of the song, the music video features the adventures of an introverted octopus who goes out clubbing. Initially dressed in a jump suit with matching boots, a hat, and Groucho glasses to hide his identity, the octopus slowly comes becomes less shy as the night progresses; after first going to the bar to drink by himself, he then moves to the dance-floor and starts dancing after being encouraged to do so by Moby. The octopus eventually finds himself on stage, and is them reprimanded by one of the club's bouncers for potentially putting himself in harms way and being trampled, though the bouncer eventually relents and allows him to reenter after the octopus becomes visually upset. Eventually, the octopus disrobes and reveals his true, fluorescent self, extending his eight limbs and letting loose as he dances through the club while being blissfully taken with the song.

The video stars Moby as a clubgoer, and features Grandmaster Caz rapping his verse on the club's stage. New York City-based drag queen Lady Bunny is also seen performing on the club's stage throughout the video. The octopus was puppeteered by Seymour and Lindsey Briggs.
