Copied from another comment on another video: Okay, gonna nerd out a little bit; The Joke released as an EP with a re-recording of Deranged, which was originally an exclusive track on Batman Arkham City. Seems to me like they made the whole EP a tie-in with the character 'Al the Killer' from IKSSE:3. The joker ties in both as the character The Joker, from Batman, and as the personification of Al's humiliation at the hands of the woman he loves (who's name escapes me), and leads to his serial killing. Hence the dream-like murder of The Joker (a woman resembling his lustee), the reality of the bloody knife, followed by the return of The Joker (as his feelings of humiliation). The act of murder being a temporary vent of his feelings, thus his smiling at the photo at the end of the video, with the gradual return to his frustrated face and the reveal that The Joker is still there. But I'm drunk, so what do I know. Btw that sound you don't like is called dissonance, and it's supposed to make the listener feel uncomfortable, so your reaction makes sense.
