This was one of my favorite videos when I was a pre-teen. Pre-teen is a weird term. It's pediatric. In my head it sounds like the word diaper.

This vid had all the elements of the best narrative-driven music videos of the day: Lip syncing, big pointing, lines of coke, the shattered glass of a broken mirror, a windswept blond, fog machine, domestic violence, skinny microphone, cut-off sleeves, signing contracts in blood, tears streaming down blond's face during coerced sex by greasy fat agent guy, mustache glasses, superimposed faces, faux behind-the-scenes scenes, latex masks, and the rock star playing dual role as a reporter with "Scoop" hat and as [REDACTED! SPOILER!].

Though the video has nothing to do with guys in tights rolling around on the floor with other guys and talking about their hard-ons with their creepy high school coach, let us never forget that this was the video for a song that was featured in the Matthew Modine wrestling movie Vision Quest, which also starred a drag queen as Linda Fiorentino. Vision Quest is one of the gayest movies I've ever seen. It was kind of a prequel to the first Jackass movie.
