The video features the band without both their trademark makeup and the slapstick comedy elements of some of their earlier videos. Snider told the Los Angeles Times Syndicate in 1987, "With the image in videos we had, people started saying we were a joke. So we dropped the makeup and deliberately didn't do a funny video. [It's] a basic rock 'n' roll video." The video was filmed in various places on Long Island, including the old Pathmark Mall shopping center on Deer Park Avenue in North Babylon which has since been demolished and is now an Aldi and Planet Fitness.
