The anti style of Ferry's backing band; a motley crew of what appear to be session men (including Chris Spedding) accompanied by Ferry in an Anthony Price suit and an Errol Flynn moustache. The appearance of the lithe Jerry Hall. The mouth organ solo that sounds like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's horn. The empty theatre staging. All the elements somehow come together to create an ultra cool ultra stylish video to accompany Ferry's no nonsense song
