The video is a mini horror film shot on the Caribbean island side of Antigua. Before the music starts, a brief bit of dialog includes Le Bon's recitation of part of a speech by Mercutio in William Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet.\n\nThe band gather in a small beach village as the sun is setting, only to be separated and set upon one by one by zombies, until the ragged night boat arrives to carry Le Bon away. It is possible that the video is a homage to the Italian horror film Zombi 2, with settings and zombies that look very much like the ones in the film.\n\nThe video was filmed in May 1982, several months before Michael Jackson began work on the video for his song Thriller, which also featured zombies.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ09HcvYQTY", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
