Music video
Jeff Stein directed the video shoot. He also made the video for Hall & Oates' Out of Touch . The music video is very surreal in terms of plot and design . At the beginning, Hall & Oates discover someone on the roof during a cozy evening throwing a guitar at them. The band climbs to the roof of the apartment and meets four men there. Daryl Hall falls from the roof; and John Oates and the men are terrified and try to save him. In the end he flies high in the sky and continues to show his choreography.
