Music Video

The video for the song was directed by Ulf Buddensieck. The band is performing in a garage, and the story is each of them going out with a girl and being popular.

There is also an adult version, while they are singing the bridge, which sees a woman with no bra on underneath some pom-poms. You see the girl then taking away the pom-poms, exposing her breasts.
