Music video

The music video for "Happy?" begins with the band, dressed entirely in black, playing the song in a field full of flowers on a sunny day. But after the first chorus, the sky darkens and a tornado emerges, seemingly out of nowhere, trying to sweep up the band. The storm subsides suddenly at the end of the video, showing that Mudvayne is unharmed and well.
