Metro Station frontman Trace Cyrus might say he [article id="1589157"]doesn't want to stand in the shadow of his super-famous sister[/article], but that doesn't mean he's not opposed to her appearing in his band's new video.

"I think my sister and my dad might be in it, though we're still waiting on them to get here. A little family cameo," he told MTV News on the set of the video for "Seventeen Forever," the latest single from their breakout debut album. "[Miley] might be riding around in a bumper car, or she might be the girl who starts a drag race. And my dad is going to be some sort of carny guy or something, running a ride or something. It will be interesting to see them playing crazy parts."

As it turns out, Miley and her dad Billy Ray are most definitely in the video, which the band shot near Santa Clarita, California. Miley ended up shooting a bumper-car scene — she rams her brother just as he's about to seal the deal with one rather lucky lady — and the elder Cyrus did, in fact, end up being cast as a carny, albeit one in a cowboy hat and a sleeveless T-shirt. If it sounds like just your average night at the county fair, well, then you're pretty much right on. Sort of.

"We kind of based it on the story of 'The Lost Boys.' We just took the vampires out of it," Trace laughed. "Just the whole carnival idea of, like, kids coming together. ... They come in and take over this park, and we're gonna perform for them. There's definitely going to be some stunt guys here who are going to be doing jumps and stuff. It's gonna be wild."

It certainly sounds wild. And though the "Seventeen" shoot went until 6 a.m., the guys in Metro Station didn't seem to mind. After all, they never even expected they'd get to make a video for the song, which launched them from anonymity to MySpace sensations back in 2006.

"We didn't expect this much to be put into this video. Once we did [the video for] 'Shake It,' we definitely wanted to do something totally different, and for this we wanted a story line," Cyrus explained. "It's a very meaningful song for us. It's the first song me, [co-frontman] Mason [Musso] and [synth guy/ bassist] Blake [Healy] made. Me and Mason had been going over to Blake's house for a few months and ... all three of us were like, 'Why are all three of us getting together? We should be friends but I don't know if we're a band.' But then finally one day Blake had the lyrics to 'Seventeen Forever,' and we went over and recorded the song. And after the weekend was over, Blake edited it and put it on MySpace, and it was kind of like an overnight success.

"When I heard the song, that was the first time I thought maybe something could happen," he continued. "I know when my parents heard it, it was the first time they were like, 'This blows our mind. We didn't realize the kind of music you were making!' We finally found the sound we wanted, and we established the sound for Metro Station. We were so happy for it."

From that discovery came their first hit, "Shake It," which landed in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and put the spotlight squarely on the band — and Cyrus' sister. So they're leaning extra-heavily on the video for "Seventeen Forever," because, as Trace put it, "We're finally at the point where people just see us as Metro Station.

"It's like we've said all along, you know, we're doing something totally different than our families. And I think people finally have realized that. They might find out about us through an interview, and, of course, the interview is about our families, so that's what their mind focuses on," he said. "But when they hear our music and they see us, they're like, 'Wow, this is something totally different than Disney Channel, than "Hannah Montana." ' We have our own style and our music has its own sound like no other. It feels good to have people recognize that."
