LA's Body Count premiered a video today for their rendition of Suicidal Tendencies' "Institutionalized." All fans wanted was to see Ice-T acting out all the frustrating and hilarious situations he sings about in the song, and he delivered.
Ice-T takes Mike Muir's 1983 anthem about bored and disenfranchised teens and tailors it to more contemporary struggles -- like trying to play Xbox without interruption, dealing with outsourced tech support, and vegans. The video sees the lyrics come to life line-for-line, and even features a cameo from T's wife, Coco.
Watch the video for the original "Institutionalized" on YouTube. Be sure to also check out Body Count's other great music video for "Talk Shit, Get Shot," which made our list of best punk videos from 2014.
The track comes from Body Count's 2014 album, Manslaughter. Pick it up now on Amazon (CD, MP3) or iTunes.
