... And I just fell in love with Taking Back Sunday ALL over again after watching them perform "Where My Mouth Is" from yesterday's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung.

"Where My Mouth Is" was already one of my favorite songs off of Taking Back Sunday's latest album, New Again, but seeing them perform it live, it sounds more raw, layered, and pensive, and takes on an even richer meaning.

+ Watch "Where My Mouth Is," live from It's On With Alexa Chung, now:

Dudes, if you thought Brüno's balls in Eminem's face at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards was dirty... well... wait... it was... But we here at MTV have seen dirtier stuff before. Like Christina Aguilera in assless chaps. (Need a reference point? See below.) Or Taking Back Sunday covered in tar in their "Sink Into Me" video. The Foo Fighters covered in red paint. Christina Milian covered in God knows what. And some of our favorite bands -- Hit the Lights, The Cab, Mutemath, Weezer, and more -- have gotten covered in food, paint, pie, and more dirty, messy, filthy, in some all-out gross-out videos.

So check out 10 of the dirtiest music videos of all time -- some sexy, some sloppy, and some straight-up sick. (Uh, Primus, anyone?)

Christina Milian -- "Dip It Low" -- Sloppy can be sexy! Christina Milian writhed around in... chocolate fondue? Black paint? Ink?... in her 2004 "Dip It Low" video while teaching you how to "pop that thang."
+ Watch "Dip It Low"

Menomena -- "Rotten Hell" -- Never before has a food fight looked so elegant nor spaghetti looked so beautiful flying through the air in slow motion like in Menomena's 2007 "Rotten Hell" video. Seriously, this is less food fight, more ballet. And that blonde kid had it coming. Dude, gimmie some of your tots!
+ Watch "Rotten Hell"

Christina Aguilera -- "Dirrty" -- "Dirrty" is the granddaddy of the dirty music video! You get Christina Aguilera in assless chaps, Redman bringing up the rear, and a panoply of fantastic, orgiastic attributes, like furries, fighters, and masturbatory moves. Another word for it? WIN.
+ Watch "Dirrty"

Foo Fighters -- "The Pretender" -- Things start out tense but basically okay in the Foo Fighters' 2007 "The Pretender" video, until about halfway through the song, when the po-po get a little too close for comfort, and the Foos retaliate with a s++storm of red paint. Dave Grohl has alluded to the song being politically motivated, but if you play it backwards, you can hear "I hate Courtney Love" (speaking of messes) plain as the nose on your face.
+ Watch "The Pretender"

The Cab -- "Bounce" -- The Cab's 2008 "Bounce" video is basically Art History 101 -- it features a not-so-subtle Andy Warhol (actually a Patrick Stump cameo), and by the end of the video, the set looks like a Jackson Pollock.
+ Watch "Bounce"

Hit The Lights -- "Drop The Girl" --  Skip school, start fights, stay in school, start food fights! Bonus: cleavage, pizza, House Of Holland-inspired message blocky tees! Killer.
+ Watch "Drop The Girl"

Primus -- "My Name Is Mud" -- Primus' 1993 "My Name Is Mud" video is an absolute classic. Just ask Beavis & Butthead. Les Claypool in a lounge lizard suit, hulkin' fat dudes taking mud baths, dead bodies, Bob Cock drinking pork soda, and a seriously nasty drum and bass line. It doesn't get dirtier than Primus.
+ Watch "My Name Is Mud"

Weezer -- "Troublemaker" -- It's no "Buddy Holly" or "Pork & Beans," but Weezer's "Troublemaker" is a three-minute-long parking lot nerd Olympics, complete with a crapton of nacho cheese, 223 people on air guitar, and the world's smallest, and it all culminates in an epic pie fight. Oh yeah, and Rivers Cuomo gets dressed up like Limp Bizkit-era Fred Durst and rhymes "beyatch" with "kids." It's great!
+ Watch "Troublemaker"

Aww. Doesn't Taking Back Sunday look like one big happy family in these brand-new exclusive MTV photos? And can you BELIEVE the wingspan on Mark O'Connell? Impressive! And doesn't Adam Lazzara seem like a proud, doting dad, just gazing into Matt's eyes like that? Can you handle all that sweetness? More importantly, can you handle the wait for New Again? (You're doing great! Not even a week left! It's out June 2nd! Patience is a virtue!) Can you handle more photos of Adam and his perfect hair? Because seriously, you guys had a lot of questions for Adam about his hair... Like a lot.

+ After the jump, check out brand-new MTV photos of Taking Back Sunday, watch their exclusive Buzzworthy fan Q&A interview (ANSWERED: Your questions about Adam's hair!), and see why Matt Rubano's position on prom is firmly thanks-but-no-thanks.

Taking Back Sunday answers your fan questions about Adam's hair (SOOO many questions about Adam's hair!), Adam's facial hair, and the band's new single, "Sink Into Me" -- no, it's not about Twilight, but even Adam agrees that Bella's a babe. Uh, because she is.

Also included in Buzzworthy's brand-new Taking Back Sunday interview -- the band addresses the elephant in the room -- the subset of fans who can't stop whining about Tell All Your Friends. Yes, Tell All Your Friends was an amazing album. Was. Six Feet Under was also a great show. But now it's over. Stop dwelling. And give New Again a chance when it comes out June 2nd.

Now watch Taking Back Sunday answer your Buzzworthy fan questions and quote their favorite lines from Anchorman, see why the "Sink Into Me" video was a lot when Matt Rubano lost his virginity, and, speaking of Matt, see why he thought prom was a sucky crapfest.

Earlier this week, Travis and Hunter of We The Kings told you about their proms -- Travis had a maje faux pas at his prom after he tripped over the electric cord powering up the DJ booth and killed the music (whoopersdoodles!), and Hunter entered a time machine and starred in Back to the Future!

Now, watch this extra-special prom reenactment video (like the ones you see on the TV!) that We The Kings sent to Buzzworthy, and see what happens when Travis goes to prom with a date who looks an AWFUL lot like Danny. Looks like SOMEONE's got a "Secret Valentine!"

+ Plus: Watch more Buzzworthy prom videos from Boys Like Girls, Taking Back Sunday, All Time Low, Cassadee Pope, The Veronicas, and Honor Society. And check out 12 cheesy prom songs (cheesy good and bad).

If "Sink Into Me" -- the lead single off Taking Back Sunday's upcoming album, New Again, due out June 2 -- is any indication of things to come on the rest of the album, then this is about to become The Summer Of Sunday.

Check out the tar-covered, Jimmy Eat world-tinged "Sink Into Me" video (no, it wasn't inspired by Twilight... GOD! NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TWILIGHT... Wait... Yeah... Everything basically is about Twilight... but not Taking Back Sunday's new video), directed by Travis Kopach, who also directed Meg & Dia's "Monster," and All Time Low's "Dear Maria Count Me In" video.

Oh yeah, see why Matt Rubano thought prom was a sucky crapfest.

After spending nearly 10 solid minutes talking to Taking Back Sunday about prom -- seriously, once they started going, they were unstoppable -- I've decided that talking about prom with Taking Back Sunday is probably more fun than going to prom.

If you're really a true Taking Back Sunday fan, you'll watch all six (plus) minutes. We left it unedited because there was just so much rich material in there... I mean Mark O'Connell getting attacked by birds on the beach? It's straight out of an episode of Saved By The Bell.

And Matt Rubano was so traumatized by prom that he bailed early and pretty much needed to file for a legal annulment the next day. Also, Eddie Reyes has been to five (!!!) different proms, none of which were his own.

So, if you thought about asking any of Taking Back Sunday if they wanna go to prom with you, the answer is probably no. See why in this brand-new Buzzworthy video interview...

+ Plus: Get more Buzzworthy prom stories from Honor Society, All Time Low, The Veronicas, and Hey Monday.
