Each band member's storyline was filmed in a different film or digital format, creating a very different look for each set of scenes. Several versions of the video were made available on the Internet, with each version focusing on the storyline of one band member. The band plays the Jason Nevins version live in concert. Nevins has co-production credit, to which he is credited in the liner notes on the album.Archived at Ghostarchive and the Wayback Machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PFBjOBhNLg Duran Duran -
