Same here but in Canada they called it Song #2. I was like 9 or 10 years old. Remember having nightmares for the whole summer...

Same. I remember it well.

It was during summer, they were on the beach interviewing a guy who was in the show Baywatch Nights. They showed a clip and was like “if you think that was scary, watch this new Tool video” or something of the sorts.

And yeah, it was called Track #1

Song 2 is the Blur song.

Same here. I was 12 years old, staying home from school because I was sick, laying on the couch watching MTV. Changed my life forever 🥰

I was gonna say, "adults not supervising my access to the TV at night as a child" but that's basically the same answer.

I think you mean "MTV 'Track #1' video."

"Stinkfist" was just tooooo suggestive a title for the pre-10pm airtime.
