Music video
The official music video for Greyhound was first uploaded to YouTube on March 13, 2012 . The video begins with three groups, each driving a car into a desert. Each group has a color (blue, yellow and red). Then another scene is shown in which Ingrosso, Angello and Axwell are standing in an underground room. A glowing headphone is put on everyone. They all make the same movement in front of their ears and the electrical charge on their heads forms a colored bubble around each one. Ingrosso has a blue, Angello has a red and Axwell has a yellow. The members of the Swedish House Mafia are linked to three also colored dogs. The people in the cars each bet on their dog in a race. A woman places a hovering rabbit on the ground, it moves, and the three greyhound dogs begin to chase it. The dogs sometimes fight each other and the yellow one makes the blue one fall. But he gets back into the race. In between, the three DJs are repeatedly shown steering underground. At the end of the race, all three dogs cross the finish line at the same time and people don't know who won. Everyone wants to take the photo evidence, but the wind blows it into the desert. The video cut is used to advertise Absolut Vodka .
After half a year it was viewed over a million times.
