Music video

The music video was directed by William Stobaugh, and animated by Tom Holleran and Wes Archer. ^[3] The video depicts a man who drives to a bar where the Butthole Surfers are performing the song. He orders a drink from the bartender (played by Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers) and, upon consuming it, experiences some bizarre hallucinations, mostly involving the bar's waitress (played by Therese Kablan), who is depicted as the man's girlfriend, a nurse, and a series of creatures, before he apparently gets into a car crash and is last seen falling down a void of cartoon skulls.

Many of the hallucinatory images are taken from the works of artist Robert Williams.

The video was shown in the Beavis and Butt-head episode "No Laughing", and was received very enthusiastically by the duo.

In other media

A cover version of this song was featured on the 2006 video game Guitar Hero II .

A censored version of the song was used in a commercial for Nintendo's Play It Loud! campaign.
