10 Weird-Ass Music Videos That TOTALLY RUINED Awesome Songs

10. The Strokes - Juicebox

Shaggy-haired New York rockers The Strokes completely smashed open the indie scene in 2001 with their debut album Is This It and followed it up with the phenomenal Room On Fire less than two years later. Despite having huge success in Europe, The Strokes finally broke America with their third album titled First Impressions Of Earth.

The debut single off the album, Juicebox, was a lot grittier and heavier compared to the polished guitar tones that they were known for. The opening bass riff accompanied by Julian Casablanca's soaring vocals really smacks the listeners between the eyes and showed off a hidden ruggedness to the band. Unfortunately, this song doesn't get the recognition it deserves and we can all put it down to the godawful music video.

Although the elevator pitch was undoubtedly amazing: comedy legend David Cross plays a radio DJ who hosts The Strokes on his late night show, it was completely ruined by unnecessarily explicit scenes. We will never get the image of an old lady seductively cleaning in front of her dog or David Cross masturbating in the studio out of our heads until we get called up for our inevitable lobotomys.
