“Everything About You” is the debut single by American hard rock band Ugly Kid Joe, first released on their 1991 EP As Ugly as They Wanna Be.
The song’s music video, directed by Thomas Mignone, was filmed on a beach in Isla Vista, California, and quickly became almost as notorious as the track itself. In keeping with the band’s irreverent humor, much of the video budget was reportedly spent on inflatable dolls purchased the morning of the shoot from an adult shop on Hollywood Boulevard.
A large tank of helium—borrowed from a nearby dentist’s office—was used to inflate the dolls so vocalist Whitfield Crane could fly them like kites along the beach. Filming was temporarily halted when FAA officials responded to complaints from pilots flying into nearby Santa Barbara Airport about the drifting inflatables.
Adding to the chaos, a wandering sheepdog repeatedly interrupted filming by wandering through scenes and urinating on drummer Mark Davis’s kit. The final video perfectly captured the wild, tongue-in-cheek spirit that helped define Ugly Kid Joe’s early reputation.
