Music video

The music video, which was shot in Los Angeles in July 1999,[2] sees Melanie debuting a new look with blonde spiked hair. She is seen dancing and jumping intensely with a microphone, wearing a tartan (plaid) skirt. There are scenes of people dancing in a giant warehouse styled as a club with policemen driving outside, supposedly to the club as they are later seen trying to get in. Melanie is in the club throughout the whole video with wind and some water vapor being sprayed towards her in slow motion. The video showcased a dramatic change in Melanie's sound and image and was banned from certain music channels due to its violent content. The video and song was subsequently parodied by the British comedy double act French and Saunders, in their 1999 Christmas Special, which had Jennifer Saunders performing as Chisholm before being reprimanded by her mother (played by Dawn French).^{[citation needed]}
