Music video
The music video for the song sees Francis perform as other characters over the track. The video begins with a parody of Michael Jackson's Thriller, with Matthew Wright and Jackson driving through the woods at night, before their car breaks down. Instead of turning into a werewolf like in the original, Jackson transforms into a variety of different animals, eventually turning into John Leslie, who gives chase to Wright asking for a "wee chat" (a year before the video was shot, Wright had erroneously named Leslie as the figure at the centre of fellow presenter Ulrika Jonsson's claim in her autobiography that a famous TV presenter had raped her). After this, various celebrities perform alongside Bo' Selecta characters singing along to the song.
