The first was supposedly deemed too bloody and graphic by MTV, so they went and made one that was as sunny and clean as possible -- puppies and all. I'd love to believe this ... but it's probably crap. Great band, though.</p> Not sure if it was just another of one of Speedo’s tall tales, but allegedly this is the second video the band shot for “On a Rope.” The first was supposedly deemed too bloody and graphic by MTV, so they went and made one that was as sunny and clean as possible — puppies and all.

Let me clarify, I think the only reason these two bands around is persistence, not talent.

BTW, anyone get the RFTC tattoo? I have the ring but the tattoo was too much for me.

Both Jehu and RFTC shows were amazing for different reasons. And the guys in the bands ridiculously cool too. Man, after seeing this video I miss those bands and that scene.
