10 Dumbest Music Videos Ever Made

10. Lump - Presidents of the United States of America

If you were any band looking to make it big in the '90s, it usually paid to be a little bit weird in your presentation. Hell, even some of the few off the rails acts like Primus or Cake seemed to gain traction solely because of their strange approach to their craft, be it being Frank Zappa by way of Rush or narrating your vocals respectively. There is a line though, and the video for Lump comes dangerously close to it.

Compared to the usual setup of alt rock at the time, The Presidents of the United States of America had a lot of strange detours for their songs, which probably made this video almost make sense in an ironic way. Though the actual lyrics of this track are a bit hard to decipher, the opening line of sitting alone in a buggy marsh checked out...so why not set the entire video in there?

From the opening strains of crunch, it doesn't really feel like you're supposed to take a song like this all that seriously though, especially considering the posh suits and the goofy faces happening left and right. While you might feel bad for laughing for the first few minutes, chances are the Presidents themselves are probably laughing right along with you.
