Music Video
The song's music video was written by Richard Curtis and directed by Paul Weiland. It was filmed at Borough Market in South London. Athletes Colin Jackson, Pat Cash, and Audley Harrison make appearances in the music video. The video received heavy play from MTV Hits and The Box. Richard X strongly disapproved of the music video. In an interview with the NME, he stated, "That video is crap", and he briefly commented on his official website that seeing it "made want to give up life".
The video opens with shots of a dank underground sewer. Stevens and a group of women walk through the sewer and put on sunglasses before climbing out of manholes and shafts. A large crowd of women, with Stevens leading them, parades down the streets as men observe the spectacle. The women begin spraying each other with bottles of water, before Stevens returns to the sewer. Throughout the video, sequences of Stevens and a group of backup dancers performing in the sewer are shown.
In 2006, American dance vocalist Henri covered "Some Girls" as a follow-up to her 2005 debut single, a cover version of Cher's 2002 song "When You Walk Away". Her version did not achieve mainstream success. It did, however, reach number six on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play and remain on the chart for fifteen weeks. A club mix, dub, and radio edit by Norty Cotto are included on the CD maxi single release.

Our mirth the music of division;
