The song makes it

A classic case where a strong song didn't get a suitable clip. In fact, I recently discovered this video even though a fan of the song for a ridiculously long time and also as a hardcore clip watcher. However, no damage was done. It was good despite strangely simple.

The Power Station plays the song while singer Robert Palmer sits and watches a woman clumsy preparing food, cleaning the kitchen set to later on keeps on dancing (it reminded me of that Britney Spears clip "Womanizer" without that scenario of the woman downplaying the guy later on). If we don't have the images to make us feel deeply interested, at least we have the blasting powerful sound and that's what makes it relevant even today to see and hear the clip. No more. 7/10
