There is no shortage of music videos and music clips to veg out to these days.
Just about everyone's seen a music video or two every single week since the 80's.
No matter what your musical genre of choice may be, there's a music video - nay, videos - for it.
Unfortunately, since the very dawn of MTV and subsequent popularization of music videos, there have been videos best left unseen.
Indeed, some music videos would be better suited to an empty sock drawer (or a coffin) than the convoluted annals of history.
It is here that our journey begins.
We've rounded up 20 outrageous music videos and music clips worth avoiding for one reason or another.
Though we've purposely omitted gore-shock music videos by Cattle Decapitation, Nine Inch Nails and Necrophagia, we're sure you'll find good nightmare fuel in a few of these.
Some of these videos are merely confusing, others disturbing and some downright distressing - almost none should be watched, but we've linked them anyway.
Can you resist watching them all?
1. Big Bad Wolf by Duck Sauce
Where'd this come from?
This song and video came from America and was created by an American and Canadian DJ duo known as "Duck Sauce."
Both the song and its accompanying video released in 2011 under the direction of Spinnin' Records.
The horrifying video was directed by Keith Schofield, so now you know whose work to avoid.
What's wrong with it?
This music video features people gallavanting about with human heads where their peckers and hoo-hahs ought to be.
Maybe that's your thing, but we're pretty sure it's not a 'thing' at all.
Fun Fact:
Billboard described this very video as "the most disturbing video of 2011."
2. Frontier Psychiatrist by The Avalanches
Where'd this come from?
"Frontier Psychiatrist" is a single by the Avalanches that was released back in 2000 on their album "Since I Left You."
Surprisingly, this kooky song is the group's first to receive commercial success and the video performed exceedingly well. Heaven knows why.
As far as Pitchfork Media were concerned, this song's music video comes in at #19 on their "Top 50 Music Videos of the 2000s" list.
What's wrong with it?
Everything. It succeeds quite well in depicting some guy named Dexter who needs therapy in some sort of game show environment.
However, it goes above and beyond with its weirdness - driving the viewer to insanity as well.
Fun Fact:
Apparently, there is actually an alternative video for this song as well.
It features various actors acting out the track's many instances of dialogue in a variety of scenes and themed Rorschach ink-blots for good measure.
Get us out of here!
3. Little Girls by Oingo Boingo
Where'd this come from?
The Eighties. 1981 saw the release of this track on Oingo Boingo's full-length debut album titled "Only a Lad."
CAUTION: This song is dangerously catchy.
In fact, this song is as catchy as it is creepy.
What's wrong with it?
The title is accurate, but it's missing the preceding "I Love..."
Yes, it goes precisely where you hope it won't - with Danny Elfman, the frontman and songwriter in the video kissing a little girl on the lips, resting his head on one's lap, lying in bed with multiple...
Videos like these are what's wrong with the world.
Watch it, or better yet, don't.
Fun Fact:
Lead singer, Danny Elfman, writes film and TV scores now.
His first major motion picture score was Pee-wee's Big Adventure (that's not creepy) in 1985 and he's responsible for creating the Simpsons' theme song as well.
4. Flash Delirium by MGMT
Where'd this come from?
This song was originally released by MGMT, an American psychedelic rock band.
"Flash Delirium" appeared on their second album, "Congratulations."
The song's accompanying mind-slap of a video debuted on the band's website in March of 2010.
What's wrong with it?
Singing throat slits birthing forcefully-removed eels and the always-unnecessary appearance of some sort of anus machine take this video to a new realm of wrong.
And no, 'anus machine' is not a typo.
Fun Fact:
"Flash Delirium" is one of two MGMT songs used by EA sports in their series of FIFA games.
