Music Video
The music video for the single was filmed in January, 1981 at the Venus Cafe, west London and Kenwood Park, North London.
The video mainly features the band in the cafe, switching between a greasy spoon scene, and an elegant restaurant scene. Around the half-way mark of the video, the band are also shown dressed as cowboys in Kenwood Park. These three scenarios are interspersed between random clips. It is these clips of random events or people which make up the bulk of the video. The video was only filmed two weeks prior to the release of the single, which may explain why so much of the video is random footage, as opposed to footage of the band. Some of these clips are also in the video for the Bob Marley song "One Love" which also happens to include a guest appearance by Suggs and Chas Smash.
The song is incorrectly titled "Return to the Los Palmas 7" in the credit block, appearing both at the head and tail of the video.
The clips which are interspersed throughout the video are chronologically summarised below, as well as giving the approximate time the clip makes an appearance.
