[edit] Music video

The music video is directed by Eran "Rani" Creevy and produced by Ben Pugh for Ministry of Sound. It features female dancers in green marching band costumes with choreography by David Leighton. In some scenes, seemingly hundreds of the dancers are seen at once, but these are simply the original dozen replicated many times using digital imagery.

Waters herself does not appear in the video, with some of the marching band members miming her lyrics.
