Music Video
The video shows a nerd (played by Jay Kay) entering into an elevator. The elevator takes him to a strange area (the number bar on the elevator reads "hell"), where the nerd turns into Jay Kay. He walks down a street, and into an alley, where he meets a pimp (also played by Jay Kay), who is the "candyman" mentioned in the lyrics. He plays several mind tricks on Jay Kay and his reactions, almost exactly fit in with the lyrics, for example with the line I'm throwing out my laser beams, he shoots lasers at a laser-shooting woman, and with I pick a little free agent, he picks up a dwarve secret agent (Verne Troyer) who shoots the woman, but gets thrown away. As the video progresses, Jay Kay rides down the street on a skateboard, and he sees the candyman driving the car, with a lady wearing a red dress as a passenger. He goes into a phone booth, and presumably calls his wife. Then he transforms back into the nerd, who enters a room with the lady, and she tries having sex with him. The video ends with the nerd lying in an alley.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“We often feel sad in the presence of music without words; and often more than that in the presence of music without music.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
