The song
This song features bassist Les Claypool soulfully slapping and tapping his bass. In the video about 40 seconds of the outro were removed.[5] It appears to be about the Department of Motor Vehicles, particularly the frustrations of dealing with waiting times and lines, and seeking relief in the form of marijuana consumption.
The video
The video for "DMV" features live and backstage footage from the 10/1/1993 show at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, CA and clips from a toilet, animation and artwork used for the "Tommy the Cat" video. Due the length of the song the video was cut to 4:29.[5]
