Synopsis

Fred Durst walks through the streets of Long Island City, gradually attracting a growing procession of female fans. The crowd follows him to an alley, where Limp Bizkit performs "Nookie" on a makeshift stage before an enthusiastic audience. The video alternates between the band's performance, crowd reactions, dancing, and mock television segments. Its deliberately chaotic street-show atmosphere ends with Durst being taken away by police for disturbing the peace.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was filmed in Long Island City, New York, in 1999.
  • Fans were reportedly invited to the shoot through a radio announcement made the day before. Close to 1,000 people turned up for the alley performance.
  • The audience was separated by gender, with the men positioned on one side of the stage and the women on the other. The arrangement was intended to emphasize the different ways each group reacted to the performance.
  • The shoot was designed as a guerrilla-style concert rather than a conventional studio production, matching the band's rowdy live-show image.
  • Pauly Shore and MTV personality Matt Pinfield appear in the mock "Limp TV" interview segments.
  • "Nookie" was the first single from Significant Other and became one of the videos most closely associated with Limp Bizkit's late-1990s breakthrough.

Lyrics

I came into this world as a reject
Look into these eyes
Then you'll see the size of these flames
Dwellin on the past
Its burnin' up my brain
Everyone that burns has to learn from the pain
Hey I think about the day
My girlie ran away with my pay
When fellas come to play
No she stuck with my homeez that she fucked
And I'm just a sucker with a lump in my throat
Hey, like a chump
Should I be feelin' bad? No
