Music Video
A music video was also created for the song. The video begins with Bob Cock getting an order of nachos, only to drop them after a collision with Larry LaLonde on a skateboard. The rest of the video cuts between scenes of the band playing an out-of-control gig in a small club (Phoenix Theater), shots of the nachos being zoomed into, and race car footage. At the end, the camera zooms in on the cheese, and there is a claymation segment which features many of the creatures on the cover of the Sailing the Seas of Cheese album, then zooms back out to the cheese, and a pit bull sniffs it, closing the video. In the video Les Claypool's Rainbow Bass can be seen without its upper horn. This is because the bass was not balanced well which caused Les to send it back to get its signature scroll horn attached. The video was created before the modification of the bass. The video became an MTV favorite and is still sometimes played.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“Yes; as the music changes,
Like a prismatic glass,
It takes the light and ranges
Through all the moods that pass;”
—Alfred Noyes (1880–1958)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
