Music video
The video for "My Own Summer (Shove It)", directed by Dean Karr, begins with a clip of a cage falling into the sea, and blood seeping out of it into the surrounding waters. It then moves to footage of the band playing on a set of floating anti-shark cages. Eventually, a shark appears and is seen to be eating a piece of meat, presumably the contents of the cage. At the end of the video, frontman Chino Moreno falls into the water and the video fades out.
An interview with Moreno that takes place during the filming of the video was included on the DVD release of B-Sides & Rarities.
Appearances in other media
A version of the song was featured on the soundtrack of The Matrix.
My Own
My Own is a scripted series aired on MTV. The show features a person who pretends to be obsessed with a celebrity, and a group of six contestants resembling that celebrity who compete to win a date with the obsessed person. The contestant who is believed to most closely match the celebrity wins after several rounds of competition, including a live singing performance.
The Show
The show starts with the introduction of the person who is seeking his/her singer. Then, two friends of him/her introduce themselves and tell somethings about the participant and afterwards they head to the "My Own" studio, where they meet the six challengers. Most times punch lines are said, causing laughing in the "audience". Then the trivia round starts. In this round the contestants have to answer trivia questions about the singer, followed by a mini singing and dancing round. Based on not only the results of this round but also on looks and (apparent) personality, the "chooser" chooses four contestants to pass to the next round. In the second round, the contestants show their houses and talk a bit about their hobbies and tastes, finishing every "dialog" with "that's why you should pick me as your own..." or "now that you've seen what I can do, pick me as your own...". In this part of the round the chooser and friends often laugh. Then, his/her friends take the four contestants to a competition that involves something that has to with the star in cause. Afterwards the chooser eliminates one contestant and the three that are left are going to fare against each other in a singing performance to determine the winner. The contestants are dressed like the video clip that the star appears in, they have singing and dancing training. It is a fact that each contestant has its weak and strong points. With advisory of their friends the chooser picks his/her contestant. The show has since been cancelled.

My Own Summer
by: Linkin ParkHey you, big star, tell me when it's over
Hey you, big mood, guide me to shelter
'Cause i'm through when the two hits the six and it's summer
Cloud
Come (shove it, shove it, shove it, shove it)
Shove (shove it,shove it, shove it, shove it)
The sun (shove it, shove it, shove it, shove it)
Aside (shove it aside)
I think God is moving it's tongue
There are no crowds in the streets
And no sun in my own summer
The shade is a tool, a device, a savior
See, I try and look up to the sky
But my eyes burn
Come (shove it, shove it, shove it, shove it)
Shove (shove it, shove it, shove it, shove it)
The sun (shove it, shove it, shove it, shove it)
Aside (shove it aside)
Come (shove it, shove it, shove it, shove it)
Shove (shove it, shove it, shove it, shove it)
The sun (shove it, shove it, shove it, shove it)
Aside (shove it aside)
I think God is moving it's tongue
There are no crowds in the streets
