The music video for Them Bones was released in 1992 and was directed by Rocky Schenck, who had previously directed the We Die Young music video for the band, and who would later direct the music videos for What the Hell Have I and Grind. The video is available on the home video release Music Bank: The Videos.

The video was also featured on an episode of Beavis and Butt-head (the episode Sick in 1993) where Butt-head claims that “this is the coolest video I’ve ever seen.” The video shows the band playing in a cavern, apparently underground. In front of the band is a puddle, in which can be seen Layne Staley singing or various animals eating or fighting with each other and a child being born, which corresponds with the lyrics “Some say / We’re born into the grave.”
