Video
A promotional video was released of the band miming the song as they walked along Scarborough St in Monterey, New South Wales. Jane Gazzo described it as "brilliant and memorable. Walking along the footpath, passing iconic brick and fibro houses from the 40s, 50s and 60s, while Greedy, resplendent in a distinctive brown, smartly fitted suit, sings with gusto."[3]
Smith later noted, "Denis Handlin, the then CEO of Sony, said, 'It will never be a hit because of Greedy's brown suit.'"[3]
