Music video

The music video for this song is an all-black variant of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, where an evil fast food restaurant boss discovers that one of her workers (who is flirting with George Clinton) has taken her place as "the fairest one of all." In retaliation, the boss laces the worker's order of fries with powdered rat poison. The worker takes a bite of the poisoned fries and drops dead, sending her into a surreal world where she's trapped inside a large chocolate milkshake and her boss is trying to slurp her through the straw. Before the dream can continue, the worker wakes up to George Clinton kissing her to break her sleeping spell.
