I remember watching this music video all the time on MTV back in the 1980's in those halcyon days when MTV was actually about music. I love how this music video doesn't adhere to the flashy hopped-up style that became a played-out cliché by the end of the 1980's: Shots are held for more than a few nanoseconds and the editing isn't done in that annoyingly frenetic rapid-fire death by a thousand cuts manner. Moreover, there are two British bit players in this video: Pat Ryan plays the head bank teller wearing glasses with the lens that shatter in a fabulous close-up while George Holdcroft makes one of his final appearances as a sour-faced bank customer. In addition, the security guard who goes to town on the fake guitar is an absolute hoot and a half. This video was also famously mocked on an episode of Beavis and Butt-Head.
