The music video for "Cannonball" was directed by Kim Gordon and Spike Jonze.[1] It features the band in a garage, and the Deal sisters in what seems to be a dressing room trashed with clothes, sitting in a chair together. There are also shots of a cannonball rolling down suburban streets, as well as a shot of Kim Deal singing underwater.

Critical reception

NME,[2] Melody Maker[3] and The Village Voice{{'}}s Pazz & Jop annual year-end critics' poll all named "Cannonball" their best single of 1993. In May 2007, NME magazine placed "Cannonball" at number 22 in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever. It ranked {{Numero|83}} on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the 90s". In September 2010, Pitchfork Media included the song at number 22 on their Top 200 Tracks of the 90s.[4]

Usage in media

"Cannonball" was featured in a preview for Bigger, Longer and Uncut, the film Moonlight and Valentino, the start of A Walk to Remember as well as in the heist scene of Sugar & Spice. It was the original score to a skit on MTV's sketch comedy show The State but, due to music licensing issues, The State recorded a sound-alike song for the DVD of their complete series. The song was also featured in the third season in episode 3 in Misfits and in the season six finale of True Blood.
