Synopsis

A wooden box crashes into the street, releasing three identically dressed versions of Moby. The trio travel through a surreal urban landscape, moving impossibly between a woman's apartment, a forest, and the spaces beneath a luxury car. One clone retrieves a map, another collects a package, and together they prepare the vehicle for escape. After driving back to the box, the three figures climb inside, ending their strange mission in a burst of flames.

Factoids & Trivia

• "Honey" was released as a single in 1998, before its parent album, "Play," arrived in 1999.

• The song is built around a vocal sample from Bessie Jones' 1960 recording "Sometimes," collected on Alan Lomax's "Sounds of the South" compilation.

• Moby reportedly wrote the song in about 10 minutes after listening to the Lomax collection.

• The video's central visual idea depends on repetition: Moby appears as three identical characters, turning the performer himself into a small surrealist ensemble.

• The box, the map, the apartment, and the car create a deliberately dreamlike chain of impossible transitions rather than a conventional narrative.

• The music video was released in 1998 and remains closely associated with the breakthrough period surrounding "Play."

• A later version of "Honey" featured additional vocals by Kelis, helping give the track a stronger vocal presence for subsequent single releases.
