'Best Day of my Life' by American Authors was filmed in Brooklyn, New York. The narrative is about a man and a large furry monster doing various things around the city, these include drinking in a bar, playing basketball, looking at Brooklyn Bridge, getting matching tattoos, going to a playground, visiting a strip club and taking photos in a photo booth. The video ends with the man waking up at the same bar they started with implying the monster was his imaginary friend. The female bartender confused found a photo of them both. Throughout the video shots are interweaved of the band playing and singing as they stroll through the Big Apple.
About half of the video shows the band walking through and singing in New York, they are lip syncing to the song and playing which the original recorded song is layered over the top to fit in. The key characters are the 'imaginary' monster and man because the story is based upon them and their friendship. There is very limited dialogue expect at the end where the man wakes up and apologies to the bar maid.
There are various locations around New York in particular Brooklyn, these include on top of the Bridge, in a park, in strip club etc.
