Music video[edit]

A music video for the song was shot during The Wildhearts' stint in New York City. It features the band (at the time just a three-piece following C. J.'s departure from the band) riding through New York on the back of a flat bed truck interspersed with shots of the band playing in a room dressed in Victorian costume. Ginger can be seen playing a guitar in the shape of the band's Smileybones logo in the New York shots.
