Synopsis

The clip turns the making of a music video into the joke itself. Fred Durst and Wes Borland begin by admitting they have no clear concept, then search the wardrobe for inspiration. What follows is a string of deliberately mismatched setups: Durst conducts the band like an orchestra, the group rides motorcycles against a studio backdrop, and the musicians appear as cavemen in a jungle. Each attempt collapses into comic frustration, making the video a self-aware parody of rock-video excess.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "My Way" was released as the fourth single from the 2000 album "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water." The single came out in the United States on February 13, 2001.
  • The video was built around improvisational absurdity rather than a single narrative or visual theme. Its central joke is that the band keeps trying on different familiar music-video formats without ever settling on one.
  • The wardrobe sequence includes a two-person horse costume, reinforcing the clip's deliberately cheap and chaotic sense of humor.
  • The song served as the main theme for WWF's WrestleMania X-Seven, held on April 1, 2001. That association helped connect the track with one of the most remembered wrestling events of the era.
  • The single reached No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart, No. 3 on the US Alternative Airplay chart, and No. 4 on the US Mainstream Rock chart.
  • "My Way" was nominated for the Viewer' Choice award at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards, where it lost to NSYNC's "Pop."
  • Several 2001 CD single editions included the music video as an enhanced CD-ROM feature, making the clip part of the period's early multimedia music releases.
  • In August 2001, the band's official website offered behind-the-scenes footage from the "My Way" video shoot.

Lyrics

special, you think your special you do,
i can see it in your eyes i can see it when you laugh at me look down
on me and, you walk around on me just one more fight
about your leadership and i will straight up leave your shit
cause i've had enough of this and now i'm pissed (yeah)
this time i'm a let it all come out this time i'm a stand up
and shout i'm a do things my way,
it's my way, my way
or the highway this time i'm a let it all come out this time
i'm a stand up and shout i'm a do things my way,
it's my way, my way
or the highway just one more
fight about a lotta things and i will give up everything to be on my own again,
...
