"Karmacoma" is a single by British trip-hop collective Massive Attack, released as a single from their second album Protection in March 1995. The music video for the song premiered in May 1995 and was directed by Jonathan Glazer. The bass line sample featured is the same bass line used by Serge Gainsbourg in the song "Melody" from his 1971 album Histoire de Melody Nelson.
The experimental musician Tricky, who collaborated on the track, also recorded his own version of "Karmacoma," renamed "Overcome" for his debut studio album, Maxinquaye.
The video shows a hotel corridor and the occupants of the rooms along the corridor. The band are in one of the rooms accompanied by Tricky and an actress. 3D, Daddy G, and Tricky are all dressed in uniforms that say "Texmex" on the front. Mushroom is sitting on the couch with a hand on his stomach, where he apparently has been shot and his shirt is bloody.
The rest of the occupants are shown intermitently throughout the video, and are all engaging in eccentric activities. Some of the scenes cross over from being weird to being supernatural and magical.
Some of the scenes in the video were censored in some countries and a second copy of it was made
