Synopsis

Soul Coughing perform "Super Bon Bon" in a series of comically surreal settings that feel increasingly strange and slightly nightmarish. Mike Doughty and the band appear amid stylized spaces and exaggerated visual effects, with the imagery matching the song's clipped rhythms and eccentric spoken-word delivery. Rather than following a conventional narrative, the video presents the group as an offbeat performance act moving through a fragmented, dreamlike world.
