This is such a fun video for a fun traditional song. Olivia delivers it
tongue in cheek of course. To make this very clear after the line "I just want to be
controlled. I can't think for myself, I need to be told" you hear a few bars of
Olivia's 1981 "Physical" from a radio on the beach. Another great line is
"Throw away my Cosmopolitan it can only turn my head. After all I'm not mad to have
fun in bed."
This video was filmed at Manley Beach with the life guards during the surf carnival. The
video has throwbacks to the Physical video - Olivia feeling the lifeguards' muscles (note
her similar facial expressions) and the underdog coming out on top (the "nerd"
saving Olivia from drowning after all others had failed). But something that puzzles is
the dog on a skateboard - Why?
