Given that it came out fifteen to twenty years before the Information Revolution, this music video and the song in general is food for thought.
The term "selfies" hadn't been coined yet. But it is what we would now call what the main woman character is taking of herself at the beginning of the video.
The silent story of the video paired with the lyrics asks women the question that has become far more pertinent with the rise of the Internet and especially social media: are you looking for love from your fellow human beings - or are you really looking for slavish adoration? Why don't you tell me - do you want my companionship, or do you want to play games?
I also want to add, that I think that if people dressed like the characters in this video did, we just might not be in this cultural dark age we're in.
To conclude, I must ask the question that if you're reading this, you're probably also wondering: who is this anonymous, absolute gold-plated doll in this video?
1:20 Oh my Lord...
P. S. - For women's reference: if you are considering getting lip injections, this woman's lips are about as plump as you can get without looking ridiculous. If a man can use your face as an airbag in his vehicle, you're too inflated.
