"What!! is a wacky look at television and pop culture through the eyes of one who is totally seduced by it, an addict trying to kick - no, just looking for kicks - and loving it. In three minutes I try to say it all, I know I can't but who cares, fun is fun. At the same time I'm trying to say something about the frustration I have with my attempts to glean anything worthwhile from my hours of viewer enjoyment and how sometimes I feel like nobody in TV land cares about my needs as a human creature. This is an unusual music video because it was created as a totally interwoven unit."

"J'essaie de tout dire en trois minutes. Je sais que c'est impossible mais ça ne fait rien, ça fait partie du plaisir! J'essaie d'exprimer ma frustration par rapport à mon désir de découvrir quelque chose qui vaut la peine durant mes heures de visionnement de télévision; j'ai parfois l'impression que personne dans ce monde-là ne s'intéresse à mes besoins en tant qu'être humain."
Regard humoristique sur la télévision et la culture populaire avec les yeux d'un fanatique sous l'emprise de la séduction, qui ne tente pas de rompre avec cette habitude.
