Michel Gondry's music video for the Around the World features robots walking around in a circle on a platform (which represents a vinyl record), tall athletes walking up and down stairs, women dressed like synchronized swimmers (described by Gondry as "disco girls" moving up and down another set of stairs, skeletons dancing in the center of the "record," and mummies dancing in time with the song's drum pattern.
This is meant to be a visual representation of the song; each element in the video represents a different instrument. According to Gondry's notes, the androids represent the singing robot voice; the physicality and rapidity of the athletes symbolizes the ascending/descending bass guitar; the femininity of the disco girls represents the high-pitched keyboard; the "itchy" skeletons serve for the guitars; the mummies represent the drum machine.
