"My Own Summer (Shove It)" is a single by American alternative metal band Deftones, their first to be taken from the album Around the Fur. It was released in 1997 by Maverick Records.[1] It was Deftones' first charting single, reaching number 29 in the UK Singles Chart.[2] The song has been described as alternative metal[3] and nu metal.[4][5][6][7]

Music video

The video for "My Own Summer (Shove It)", directed by Dean Karr,[8] begins with a clip of a cage falling into the sea, and blood seeping out of it into the surrounding waters. It then moves to footage of the band playing on a set of floating anti-shark cages. Eventually, a shark appears and is seen to be eating a piece of meat, presumably the contents of the cage. At the end of the video, frontman Chino Moreno falls into the water and the video fades out.

The video was shot at Pyramid Lake, California, with additional footage of the sharks coming from the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.[9]

An interview with Moreno that takes place during the filming of the video was included on the DVD release of B-Sides & Rarities.

In 2012, Loudwire ranked the song number seven on their list of the 10 greatest Deftones songs,[10] and in 2020, Kerrang ranked the song number one on their list of the 20 greatest Deftones songs.[11]
