Synopsis

Sheryl Crow performs "There Goes The Neighborhood" in a stark, studio-like setting, dressed in black and positioned in front of a car. She sings directly to the camera while dancing and moving with the song's restless energy. The imagery is repeatedly stretched, warped, and distorted, turning the performance into a fractured visual reflection of the track's edgy, satirical mood. Rather than follow a narrative, the video relies on Crow's presence, the stark staging, and increasingly unstable images.

• "There Goes The Neighborhood" later won the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance at the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2001.
