The music video is a classic in my opinion.
Using cuts from the 1985 Spectrum 48k game of James Herbert's "The Rats", the film "The Rat Pack" and "Rats - Notte di terrore (1984)" Chris Cunningham creates a surreal world in which Mr Jackson journeys from a life as an urchin living a tough existence in the sub-spaghetti world of Central Birmingham to that of a demi-god who radiates golden light and has whiskers over 11 feet long.
