One of my favorite songs, and the video has a midget!

From wiki:

The music video for the song (which uses the shorter single version), directed by Tim Pope, is notable for its British folk revival imagery, featuring Morris dancers, Mummers, Punch and Judy and a maypole. It was filmed in the village of West Kington, in Wiltshire, England.

Ivan Doroschuk is the only member of the band actually to perform in the video. Doroschuk, and others in the video, can be seen repeatedly forming an "S" sign by jerking both arms into a stiff pose, one arm in an upward curve and the other in a downward curve, apparently referring to the first letter in "safety".

The Morris dancers seen in the video were the Chippenham Town Morris Men. The dwarf actor is Mike Edmonds, whose T-shirt in the video shows the Rhythm of Youth album cover.

The identity of the young blonde-haired woman by the name of Jenny seen dancing in the video remained unknown until 2013, when she was identified as Louise Court, a journalist who was editor-in-chief at Cosmopolitan and became a director at Hearst Magazines UK in 2015.

A different Jenny than on the Pop Goes The World album?
