Music video
[edit]
The video starts with six girls "coming out" from a curtain like they were entering on stage. Then, we can see Slimmy in a black background walking towards us while singing to the song. Next to him, there are two girls kissing each other. The video is followed by a scene where we can see Slimmy performing in a nightclub while the girls featured in the opening scene of the video are dancing to the song. This scene is alternated with a scene where Slimmy is singing the song in a white background with CDs stuck in the wall. Apart from girls, we can also see transvestites in the video. The rest of the video features scenes from the performance in the nightclub.[3]
