Synopsis

The "Say What You Mean" video is a short, frantic punk collage built around the Lunachicks' direct, impatient demand for honest communication. In the Troma version, the band's song is paired with lurid, irreverent footage from Troma's exploitation and horror catalog, creating a visual match for the track's breakneck energy and sarcastic attitude. Rather than following a conventional storyline, the clip leans into rapid edits, outrageous imagery, and a deliberately trashy underground aesthetic.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The song appears on the Lunachicks' 1999 album "Luxury Problem," where it runs for just over two minutes.
  • A Troma-related version of the video was included among the music-video extras on home-video releases of "Terror Firmer."
  • Troma describes the clip as a music video featuring footage from its movies, placing the Lunachicks within the same deliberately excessive visual world as the company's cult productions.
  • The song was also used in the soundtrack ecosystem around "Terror Firmer" and later appeared in the 2002 Olsen twins movie "Getting There."
  • The video circulated through punk and independent-music outlets including BlankTV, which published both a standard upload and a specifically labeled "Troma version."

Lyrics

I'm not so I don't
I can't so I won't
I could but I shouldn't
But I can't so I wouldn't

I might but I can't
I've got so I don't
I would but I shouldn't
But I not so sure I couldn't

Say what you mean
Mean what you say
Don't say it mean
