Reception

In 2022, Louder Sound and Kerrang ranked the song number five and number six, respectively, on their lists of Limp Bizkit's greatest songs. [2] [3]

Music video

At the beginning of the video, Fred Durst and Wes Borland are conversing on what should be done for the song's music video, as the two have no ideas, and Durst suggests that they check "wardrobe" for ideas, as they have some "really funny stuff in wardrobe". The video then follows the band's various antics as they attempt to film the video in a variety of settings, including a big band where Durst conducts the rest of the band, a line of motorcycles on which they ride, and a jungle with them dressed up as cavemen.
