And another baby step towards "music videos as we think of them."  There's still no actual story, but the band is in costumes (the boxy early '80s suits look as silly as the trenchcoats) and there are more creative camera angles and simple visual effects, like during the clapping.  H & O's sense of humor and mugging towards the camera are in evidence here and, along with the fact that it is one of their better songs, I grinned a lot.
