[edit] Music Video
The video for the song is a strange one. In the beginning, It shows a woman in a bikini in an apartment looking in the mirror with Fred Durst watching her. Then she turns around and opens her mouth and spits out a mechanical arm holding a levitating bomb that chases Durst out of the window and then blows up the whole building. Then, Durst goes to a burger stand called Bolacha Mole, where he sits next to a person with a scar under his eye, across from Wes Borland, whose head falls off. Durst starts to eat his burger, but discovers that it is crawling with worms. After this, a car crashes into the stand and it explodes. Durst wakes up in a bed with a woman who starts to kiss him, and then he pulls off the wig that she was wearing to discover that she has plugs all over her shaved head. Looking around, he discovers that there were dozens of couples kissing and having sex in similar beds. Prompted by this revelation, he starts to run away. While running, Durst turns into a cartoon and is chased by an army of humans with round bellies, and a sea of hot dogs (which turns into a giant sea monster that tries to kill him). After escaping, he turns back into himself (or, rather, rips the cartoon character to reveal himself again) and jumps on to a stage with the rest of the band. The stage is located in the center of a pool, which is in a temple where several dark monsters try to get to them and many sparks fly onto the stage. After the band finishes performing the song, Durst drops his hat on the ground and walks away.
[edit] Trivia
- The small cartoon part of the song was censored when played on MTV because Fred's character flipped off the giant sea monster.
- Fred is not shown fully after dropping his hat on the stage (only his feet can be seen walking away; the other band members remain at their places)
- The cartoon part where the humanoids walk into the meat-grinder machine is a clear allusion to Pink Floyd's The Wall.
