"Bucky Done Gun" was included in the soundtrack of NBA Live 06, but renamed and re-edited as "Bucky Done." M.I.A. performed the song in May 2005 on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The music video for "Bucky Done Gun" was directed by Anthony Mandler. It features Maya rapping aggressively against a desolate wasteland (a dystopia which seems to imply the aftermath of the recent tsunami), erratically interspersed with scenes of her performing live in an underground nightclub, entirely filmed in an artsy, guerrilla style. The video is also mixed with intriguing images of teenagers throwing grenades of smoking colour at buildings; Maya's live backup singer Ms. Cherry provocatively grinding against a chain-linked fence and giggling children playing in dirty streets and damp landscapes.
