First of all, the song, as pure pop, really grooves. Very infectious, and hard to stop pressing the repeat button. The funky InXS guitar riff (and Paul was first with it), the catchy motivic melody, and the really nice movement in the chord progression (after the mono-chord verses) will not let your ear go.

But secondly, (is that a word?) the video is a treasure trove piled high with interest.
Linda is there as herself in a cool, two-sided, reversal suit/gown creation. (In fact, there is a brilliant play of black and white costuming in the theme here.)
She also appears, ladies and gentleman, as FAUL. Here:
Sir Paul appears as most everyone else in this "staging". It's really great.
Here he is in two guises:
Delicious. ZZ Top meets Tiny Tim, but way better. He does a "Cher hair toss" at one point that is worth however many thousands this video costed (is that a word?) to make.
Then, Sir Paul appears AS Paul:
(in background with Hofner):
and, the image any 8 year old remembers from 1964:
That face--that kind of look, is the essence of the Pied Piper for kids.
Then, to make my mind blow out even more, james Paul McCartney actually appears in this video (CGI? Living? YOU TELL ME!) He appears in this video........AS......SIR PAUL!!!!!
At this point we have now had so many reversals, twists of illusion, and imitations, that there is only one thing left, one place to go, and that is HERE. And it is delicious:
This video alone is the perfect acquittal for anyone with an ounce of resevational thought-ings. (Are those words?)
Sir Paul traded in his old Black rose for a Red one.
Anyone have a clue as to what that might mean, if anything?
I left out the sax player, the keyboardist and several others. Maybe I can catch those later.
Clearly, if Paul isn't alive on the planet, than he is alive in somebody's mind.
