[edit] Music Video

The music video features Michaels washing dishes while listening to Kiss' hit single Rock and Roll All Nite. Then his manager turned off the radio as he told him to wash the dishes quickly, because he was moving in two speeds, "slow and stop". Frustrated, he stopped washing the dishes and left the washroom. As he left, a live stage occurred beside the washroom, and as he banged the door shut, the band performed the song live without any audience. At the end of the song, his manager returned, and surprisingly saw Michaels finish washing all the dishes.
