Music video



The song's music video starts with the three Wilson brothers driving onto a crowded boardwalk.Music Video at [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bACKLW19XdE YouTube] It then cuts to random people dancing in a boxing ring. During this segment, it periodically cuts back to other people on the boardwalk and beach dancing, including Charlie wading in the ocean water in a speedo. The video ends with an unidentified person filling in a giant yellow ballot (which says "fill in the gap" at the bottom) and selecting "Gap Party" over "Democratic Party" and "Republican Party". Charlie is then tackled and falls into the water.

It was directed by Don Letts.
