Music Video
The video for "Martin Scorsese (PG-13)" was directed by George Seminara, and shot exclusively in black-and-white. In the video, Hall, dressed like a prototypical Scorsese criminal character, frantically yells the lyrics into a microphone while the other band members sit or stand at their instruments but do not play them. Throughout the video, photographs of Scorsese and ransom note–style titles of his films appear.
The video was featured in an episode of the television series Beavis and Butt-head.
