Music Video
A simple black and white video was recorded for the song and it was aired at least once (probably the only time) on MTV by Trevor Nelson. The video features Simone singing the vocals and Melanie and Shaznay dancing and doing the background vocals.
The video has a Salt-n-Pepa-feeling about it and is reminiscent of the early hip-hop genre. Intermixed in the dancing and singing performance is some footage of rappers which are set in colour unlike the rest of the video.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“Through music the passions enjoy themselves.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“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)
