Music video
The music video has a surreal touch. At the beginning of the clip, a woman (who represents Baby Jane, sung about by Rod Stewart) drinks from a straw, Rod Stewart hides behind a wall and a chandelier wobbles on a ceiling and its crystals fall to the floor. Rod Stewart then drinks from a glass while a chess computer plays chess and Stewart stands in front of a large, round screen. On the screen he sees himself singing the song. During his performance he also comes out of his wall, drifts up a pair of shoes from a puddle, Stewart can also be seen in a cage, plays the song with an accompanying band, he also sits and drinks from the glass again, he gets up and the woman from the beginning is seen a few times. In the end, Rod Stewart is again in the same cage.
