Video
The video was directed by James Sutton and features the band playing with the three girls who appeared on the "Costello Music" album cover. In the video, three models who have appeared in various magazines play the three girls. Casey Batchelor plays the girl in the red dress, Natalie Oxley plays the girl in the dark blue colour dress, and Charlotte McKenna plays the girl in the white dress. Despite the Costello Music album cover's similarity with the video, there are also a few differences. The girl in the red dress does not place a vinyl record of the single "Henrietta" down, and the singles of "Chelsea Dagger" and "Whistle for the Choir" are not on the floor next to the girls, like on the cover. The bottle with the F on it is also not featured in the video. The video had huge success in the USA and launched James Sutton into the spotlight.
