Music video
The
music video for "Pumps" shows Amy walking the streets with a microphone wearing pumps (high-heeled shoes). It shows the type of girls that Winehouse sings about in the song in front of a nightclub arguing, as well as Winehouse walking through several streets with a microphone in her hand. The farther she walks, the shorter the coil on the microphone gets. Along with the lyrical phrases about money-hungry women, Winehouse also sarcastically explains the irony of it.Track listings
