"Opinions Won't Keep You Warm at Night" is the first single from Kisschasy's second studio album Hymns for the Nonbeliever. The song was released via digital download and single CD in 2007. Kisschasy songwriter Darren Cordeux said in press release track notes, "It is a song about being happy with who you are and not letting other people's opinions of who you are or what you do affect you. At the end of the day what people think doesn't mean anything at all. People thought the world was flat once."

The video portrays a date between fictionalized versions of United States President George W. Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, with former Australian Prime Minister John Howard tagging along. The three are played by actors with large cutout masks.

Bush, portrayed as a frat boy, picks up Blair (shown as a female in a pink dress) and her little brother Howard and takes them first to a diner (where Bush and Blair share a milkshake while Howard stuffs his face with ice cream), then to the Saint Kilda foreshore, a fairground, and finally a drive-in movie, drag racing North Korean Leader Kim Jong-il along the way.

After the movie (Gulf War II – This Time It's Pathetic), they proceed to queue outside a nightclub. Bush spots Dick Cheney at the head of the queue and abandons Blair and Howard to join him, leaving them to walk home alone. Inside, Kisschasy are playing. Bush disrupts their performance by jumping up on stage and dancing. He then attempts a stage dive but no one catches him.
