Synopsis

Limp Bizkit's "Sour" video turns a breakup into a darkly comic eviction. Fred Durst sends an unwanted girlfriend away from a house while a strange caretaker oversees the proceedings. After she is forced outside, the caretaker activates a sprinkler, soaking her as Durst and the band perform. The deliberately exaggerated behavior matches the song's bitter resentment, presenting the failed relationship as a bizarre domestic confrontation rather than a straightforward performance clip.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video was released in 1998, following the 1997 arrival of Limp Bizkit's debut album, "Three Dollar Bill, Y'all." It runs for approximately three minutes.

• "Sour" was inspired by Fred Durst's problems with a former girlfriend. The video's breakup scenario follows that emotional premise, but exaggerates it into dark slapstick.

• The song's reference to something being as genuine as a three-dollar bill helped provide the title for the band's debut album.

• The clip was not included on the band's 2005 compilation DVD "Greatest Videoz," despite covering material from "Three Dollar Bill, Y'all" and the group's later albums.

• "Sour" was promoted during the band's rapid rise in 1998, when Limp Bizkit were appearing on major rock tours and beginning to receive wider music television exposure.
