Boy George on BBC3's 100 Most Annoying Songs: "Most people are very ignorant politically and we're all told how glamorous war is. Most kids love to watch Star Wars, which is basically space age war thing and I think a lot of people see war as really glamorous and I think it's about time they saw something that showed it for what it is."
Russell Mulcahy directed the music video, which opens with a military-themed fashion show against a war-torn backdrop and includes images of children as soldiers and munitions factory workers. The clip concludes with hundreds of kids dressed as skeletons marching in the streets. George, who wrote the script, made several costume changes throughout. According to Boy George Fever, Mulcahy recalled: "I was never on for holding back the camp. Every time George would appear on set with a new look I shouted at him that’s the one."
