You can probably already guess that this video and song were both controversial back in the day. Not only was the video’s symbolism blatant but the song was released at a time when the AIDS epidemic was very much on everyone’s mind. This was the type of video that MTV would have banned in its early days but, by the time the 90s rolled around, the video was considered safe for viewing by none other than Beavis and Butthead, neither one of whom was ever having sex.
This video was produced by H-Guns Labs, the same studio that was responsible for many of Nine Inch Nails’s early videos.
LaTour was a disc jockey from Jack Kerouac’s hometown of Lowell, Massachusetts. Despite the urban legend to the contrary, he never recorded a follow-up called People Are Still Having Lunch.
