"Jerks of Attention" is a song by Australian alternative rock band Jebediah, recorded in August 1996, in Melbourne at the Birdland Studio, and produced by Lindsay Gravina and Mikey Alonso. "Jerks of Attention" was released on 8 December 1996 as the band's debut single and peaked at No. 62 on the ARIA Singles Chart. "Jerks of Attention" was re-recorded and included on the band's debut album, Slightly Odway (1997).
The music video for "Jerks of Attention" was the band's first and was filmed in the 'share-house' that Kevin Mitchell was residing in at the time. The band is depicted performing live in one of the house's rooms, in which naked light bulbs hang from the ceiling. While the band play, a party is gathering at the house and a male in an apron is baking a cake. Photographer and internet administrator, Nick Cowie is also portrayed with bright red hair and leather pants and is chained to a sink.[5][6]
