“Freak on a Leash” was Jonathan Davis' complaint against the music industry that abuses him, leaving him feeling like “a freak touring corporate America fucking making all the money while it’s taking a part of me.”

The music video was directed by Todd McFarlane, with help from Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, and features animated segments reminiscent of the Follow the Leader cover drawn by McFarlane himself. It won Best Editing and Best Rock Video at the MTV Music Awards in 1999, as well as the Grammy for Best Short Form Music Video in 2000.
