Music Video
The video for "Clumsy" was filmed on March 18, 1997 and was directed by Matt Mahurin. It features a teenage boy in his room filmed in a green sepia-tone. Upon entering the room, he removes the door from the wall (leaving a blank space) and throws it out the window; he then takes the window (which also leaves a blank space on the wall) and shoves it under his bed. The boy then accidentally knocks over a glass of water, which endlessly empties into his room, flooding it. At the last moment, the boy grabs a giant breath and swims down, removing the window from under his bed, swimming through to safety. Unlike other singles, "Clumsy" had only one music video internationally.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
