Music Video of the Day: Cannonball by The Breeders (1993, directed by Kim Gordon and Spike Jonze)

Posted on April 30, 2026 by Jedadiah Leland

Cannonball was the biggest hit for one of the best bands of the 90s, The Breeders. And the song’s music video was one of the best that ever played on MTV. According to Kim Deal, this song was inspired by the Marquis De Sade. Thanks to this video, most of us will always associate this song with the Deal sisters having fun in rehearsal, Josephine Wiggins showing off her cool professionalism, and Jim MacPherson beating the Hell out of those drums.

This video was directed by Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon and a young up-and-comer named Spike Jonze. This was Jonze’s first music video.

Enjoy!
