Synopsis

A surreal figure walks along the edge of a volcano before an eruption sends money, rather than lava, into the sky. The video then moves through a series of deliberately chaotic images: floating rocks, a character striking dollar bills with a bat, an attack by George W. Bush on a flying lectern, rampaging fast food, a giant Mickey Mouse, and destructive encounters with televisions and other objects. The sequence ultimately resolves as the dream of a patient in a mental institution.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video uses low-budget computer-generated imagery and a deliberately rough, collage-like visual style, matching the song's aggressive industrial sound.

• Its imagery turns the song's fixation on money, consumerism, authority, and spectacle into a chain of absurd visual jokes rather than a conventional narrative.

• A 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray appears in the video, echoing the song's references to cars, speed, and conspicuous consumption.

• "Money" was released in 1992 as the title track of KMFDM's fifth studio album, issued by Wax Trax! Records.

• The clip was included on the band's 1997 home-video compilation "Beat by Beat," which combined music videos, live performances, and behind-the-scenes material.

• The video's imagery includes George W. Bush, despite the clip predating his presidency and appearing during his earlier public career.
