Your mid-90s alt-rock breakfast SLAMwich
In the production meeting for the Toadies "Tyler" video shoot:
Director: "So, you guys got any ideas?"
Lead singer Todd Lewis: "Yeah, actually, I was thinking we could be in this house--"
Director: "A house, great. Love it. How about you guys play the song and we have a guy run around and through you guys while you're playing, kind of like a crazy person?"
Lewis: "Hmmm...I mean, that's not really what I had in mind, that actually sounds kind of distracting--"
Director: "What if he wore a jumpsuit? And big goofy goggles?"
Lewis: "And that's all he'd be doing?"
Director: "Yeah. Just running around. Like a 5-year-old."
Drummer Mark Reznicek: "Uhhh...that sounds retarded."
Lewis: "What if we had, like, a hot girl--"
Director: "I see where you're going. And we have a dude play her. And she's in the woods!"
Lewis: "A dude? No."
Director: "Let's have our guy run around in the woods too!"
Lewis: "You do know what this song's about, right?"
Director: "Not important. See you at the set tomorrow morning."
