[edit] Music video
Directed by Mike Lipscombe, it was used as a promotion tool for the 1998 film Godzilla. Partly shot on location at Grays' State Theatre, it depicts a film theatre in which the movie is being shown. However, as the screen shows Godzilla walking on the ocean floor, one of its feet breaks the screen and water floods into the theatre as if the screen were made of glass and everything behind it were real. The theatre turns into chaos as the audience tries to get out alive, in the midst of which Jay Kay appears and dances on top of the seats. Several other things go through the screen, including a helicopter and a taxi.
The video is shot on a bluescreen, which Kay had to move where it dotted in accordance to the video. The theatre scene was shot separately and added together.
Another version of the video replaces Godzilla with a man in the movie who smashes an aquarium, causing the theatre to flood. The rest of the video is completely identical.
