[edit] Music video
The song's music video starts with Freedom Williams bouncing on a ball, and then after a few bounces, falls into a hole where various blacked-out dancers are seen dancing to the song. Some of Williams' verses are pictured and appear in large letters. Zelma Davis is later seen lip-syncing to Martha Wash's vocals on the song's chorus. Clivillés, Cole, Davis and Williams are also seen with large, black gears (as seen in the band's "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" video). At the end of the video, Freedom Williams says one more "Things that make you go hmmm...", Clivillés and Cole are seen balancing on two large circle halves, a cartoon woman appearing and the video fading to a small tiny dot before ending.
