The rock band was forced to play in playback during an italian tv show about football "Quelli che il Calcio". So Muse decided to exchange their instruments and positions. The singer became a drummer, the drummer sang and played bass, and the guy who usually play the bass played guitar and keyboard.
This was pretty funny. I've seen video of Iron Maiden not even pretending to play and goofing off in a similar situation. The Beastie Boys also did this on American Bandstand. Couple of other band that slip my mind at the moment. Can't blame musicians for not warming up to this fakery.
