"Lacquer Head" is the lone single off of Primus' 1999 album, Antipop. The song features three verses that tell the tale of three different children, and the harm that comes to them from their huffing of inhalants. MTV banned the single's video for its drug references and purportedly "violent content," despite the negative portrayal of the use of inhalants. Singer/bassist Les Claypool put the band on hiatus because of the single's (and the poor selling Antipop album, for that matter) failure.[citation needed]
