When Chris finished writing this song, I wonder if he stepped back for a minute said to himself : "Ok, so this is what REAL music sounds like." God, or Satan, or whomever, created rock'n'roll for shit like this.
I don't see that the woman in bed at the end of the song is necessarily dead, she could have just fallen asleep after sex - or the bed & woman could just be a "tableau" depicting the pretty noose that Cornell is snared by -- though of course STP was doing songs about dogs (bloodhounds?) smelling his girlfriend ('s body?), and burning alive some chick's wicked garden - was that the ethos of alt, blaming everything on the chick?
The music in this song is deep on so many levels. My favorite song from Soundgarden. My favorite rock video of all time, Queens of the Stoneage-Go With the Flow, a close second. I LIKE STRIPPERS.
I dunno its pretty corny at some parts (although overall its a cool vid), maybe the band didn't want to be associated with it. Also there seems to be implied themes of murder and heroin use.
edit: drug use instead of heroin use in specific I guess. Also drunk driving. I don't know for sure to be honest but it is a good deal darker than most of the crap I've seen on the MTV's.
Knowing how PC MTV has become, I would say some of the so called "Satanic imagery" although when I was young I thought it was the scene where the cops use excessive force.
According to the director, it was banned because the very end of the video implies that Cornell murdered the woman in bed. Pretty silly if you ask me...
Cool! I've been looking for this video for a while. I always loved this video and think I understood the message Chris was trying to put across in it. It's also the reason I chose the picture for my video of "Pretty Noose"
nearly as good as justin beiber

Yes, it is definitely darker...although, I can't remember the last time I saw a video on MTV lol

2 reasons it was banned. MTV thought that the songs title was encouraging people to hang themselves. Also at 1.57 when police are manhandling.
