"Get Back" comes off Waste of Mind, the 1998 record that was Zebrahead's second album and their leap to a major label, Columbia, with Howard Benson in the producer's chair. It's punk rock with its sights set on the radio, and radio met it halfway: a modest hit that climbed to #32 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks. Modest or not, it remains the only Zebrahead song ever to land on a Billboard chart, and the one most people still know them for.
The video plays it for slapstick thrills, starting the band on the top floor of a building and sending them crashing down through every floor below as they tear through the song.
