Music Video

The music video is set in a supermarket in America. It starts off like any general day in the supermarket, however once the music starts lots of things happen as The Mavericks play throughout the video, A security guard tries to find the band in the different locations, one shopper is sitting and eating some of the stock, girls playing trombones and trumpets, a set of dancers dancing down the aisles, an elderly couple with a dummy in the child seat and a man who plays a keyboard madly, even the staff get involved in the dancing while the security guard tries to find the band playing but by the end he gives up as the music ends with the band looking into the security cameras.
