Synopsis

Crazy Town deliver "Toxic" as a confrontational late-1990s rap-rock performance piece. The video moves between the band attacking the song onstage and close-ups of Shifty Shellshock and Epic Mazur, while DJ AM works the turntables alongside them. Quick cuts, aggressive poses, dark lighting, and a club-ready visual style reinforce the track's loud, chaotic attitude. Rather than following a separate storyline, the clip presents Crazy Town as a brash live force and introduces the group through their hybrid of hip-hop swagger, metal riffs, and scratching.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "Toxic" was released in 1999 as a single from Crazy Town's debut album, "The Gift of Game."
  • The video features DJ AM, who was part of Crazy Town's early lineup and appears at the turntables.
  • The track was one of the band's first singles, preceding the much bigger success of "Butterfly." Unlike that later hit, "Toxic" did not make a major chart impact.
  • The song runs for approximately 2 minutes and 48 seconds, giving the video a compact, high-energy structure.
  • The video is credited as a 1999 production, placing it in the early wave of mainstream rap-rock and nu metal crossover clips.

Lyrics

Catch a fire, Fire it up
Corrupt stirring it up

It's buring hot, drifing
Hitting every slot
With a drop kick ,

It's toxic
Trouble, like your girl in a mosh pit
I've lost it
And that the only way that we rock shit
Banging heads and ripping threads
If i wasn't rocking shows
