This is the music video for the song, ‘Oldest Trick in the Book’ by New Zealand rock band Motocade from their 2009 debut album, ‘Tightrope Highway’.

The video features the lead singer in a hospital. He gets his blood pressure taken, an MRI and a X-ray.
Special effects of visuals of instruments appear on the man’s arm, as well as images of split screens.
The man lies on a gurney and surgeons stand over him. They cut into where the visuals of the instruments appeared, revealing actual instruments under his skin.
They remove the top part of his skull which revels sheet music, where his brain would be.
The man leaves the hospital and the surgeons proceed to play the instruments in the operating theatre.
