Now there is a video i haven’t seen in a long time. The only part of the video that stayed around for a bit was the Wish segment which was aired as the song’s music video on MTV.

Somehow I got a copy back in the 2000’s, I think I may have torrented it.

I was able to borrow a crappy copy of it on VHS and make my own crappier copy of it back in the day (around when it came out). I then let a different friend borrow it to make their own yet crappier copy and it vanished. Yeah, i had some bad friends heh.

Wasn’t it the Down In It video that was the subject of an FBI investigation? IIRC for the filming they attached a camera to a weather balloon to create an aerial shot, but the balloon drifted away and came down a few miles away. Someone found the camera, watched the tape in it, and notified the FBI because they thought it was a snuff film.

Here’s an article with more info.
