None of it’s as entertaining as David Cross’ cameo as the clueless DJ, though. A feel-good classic.ĭirected by Jonas Åkerlund (of ‘Smack My Bitch Up’ fame), so we shouldn’t be surprised that it features close-up footage of a cock (and I don’t mean singer Til Lindemann).ĭrunken texting, vomiting on the pavement, gay fumbling in a toilet cubicle – it’s basically the average indie fan’s night on the town. In this snuff movie-esque clip, vaguely reminiscent of an episode of ‘Sexcetera’ gone wrong, a masochist is strapped, naked, to a metal torture device which slowly drills into his flesh before ultimately ripping his insides out, draining his blood for use as garden fertilizer.
If you’ve ever wanted to see Bjork simulating fellatio – relax, it’s arty – then this is the video for you. Here, a naked woman wafts around the band while they play, before decapitating Ryan Jarman and lopping off brother Ross’s arm, like the world’s most annoying groupie.
Like most ‘controversial’ videos, this one combines nudity with extreme violence. This video has it all: a woman in a nappy grappling with a sumo wrestler, an oiled-up fat bloke, and a man in a horse mask waving his bum at the camera. Pretty much like a Vice magazine cover shoot, then. Not massively explicit, it’s true, but at one point there’s a grainy shot of a rail-thin hipster with his balls hanging out.
