Music video

The music video for Turn on Me features images of an old woman suntanning, a man operating a crane, a one-eyed dog in the woman's garden, a man in a speedo fishing leaves out of a pool, a piano, a bee, and some Jell-o. It begins with rather baffling close-up shots then pans out to show the mayhem caused by the bee. At the end, the piano (which was suspended by the crane) is dropped on to the dog by accident.
