Music video

The music video features a dream sequence of a geeky man (Beeny Royston), who is sunbathing on the beach wearing a raincoat and orange speedos. He spots a young woman in her bikini in a beach house behind him, and she invites him into the house, into an all-girls' party. At the end of the video the viewer finds out that he was daydreaming and that when he appeared to be kissing a girl he was actually kissing his dog.
