The Story in The Song
The song is hard to understand without viewing the video.
The man goes to the bar and meets a girl. The girl takes a liking to him. They start to get closer and when he gets to the close dancing stage of the night, he gets a nasty fright. Apparently he has picked up a transvestite. By then it is too late, and the transvestite is dominant and aggressive and won't let him go. The subject tries to make excuses to get out of having to go. The video shows a number transvestites in the bar used body language to convey threats of physical violence should he try to reject the offer of sex. The subject then tried to make excuses and evade the transvestite, but he does end up (submissively) going off in a car with the transvestite.
The Spacial Verb/ Channel Z version of the video and song exclude gang mentality, and show only the one transvestite as being aggressive and violent, but in this version the bar is exclusively full of transvestites (apart from staff and band). (making the humour more obvious .. its absurd that a man would mistake that place as good place to meet normal females ).
Its dark humour, with a similar (but not exactly the same) situation used for comedy in various movies such as Police Academy.

Famous quotes containing the words story and/or song:
“Mr. Wiggam, I want you to change the policy of The Clarion. I want you to write a story I should have written myself long ago. I want you to tell the people of San Francisco that no city can exist without law and order. Write a story about that flag, write about what verifies and brings a promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There are some people in this town who don’t seem to know that. Let The Clarion tell them.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“There’s nothing that makes you so aware of the improvisation of human existence as a song unfinished. Or an old address book.”
—Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
