Primus - Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYDfwUJzYQg The video is crazy for what the band went through to shoot it. The latex/polyurethane suits they had to wear were heavy and insanely hot. They had to pretend to play at 1/2 speed and then sped up in post because the suits were so cumbersome. Interspersed with the band playing is hand-drawn cartoons of the actual song contents.
