The first was made for "Tragedy's a' Comin'", co-directed by Claypool and Mark Kohr, who had previously directed a number of the band's videos in the early 1990s.

It was filmed on location at the Anchor & Hope restaurant in downtown San Francisco, and depicts kitchen staff preparing lobsters which are then served to diners by the maître d', played by Kohr.

Throughout the video, an anonymous figure is shown riding a horse while wearing a space suit, who eventually arrives at the restaurant and orders the lobster, which is then cooked and served to them.

[6] Claypool told Spin magazine the song's subject matter describes the end of the world: "Lyrically, this is me focusing on eventual demise or at least the notion that big rain is coming and at some point I'm going to get pretty fucking wet."

Claypool told MusicRadar why he discussed such a dark subject matter with humor on this song:[7][8] There's a lot of crazy shit in my life right now: My mom is fading away from us; she's not going to be around much longer.
