Music video

The music video begins with the message "ru ready for a supersonic synkronized audio and visual experience?" on the screen, flashing red. The camera zooms into an "orb" in the ? and Jay Kay appears. The orb moves around him while he is dancing the robot. The orb flashes along with the song's tune. A yellow one appears along with a green, orange and purple one. More orbs are seen behind the first five. The camera itself changes angle. The camera zooms into a red orb and Jay Kay is seen within it. The second part of the video features a tunnel-like stage with LED-covered walls. Jay Kay and other bandmembers are seen "hovering" across the stage, based on the film Virtual Insanity. The camera effects continue and a large audience appears. The LEDs form a sneaking man animation, possible homage to James Bond. Finally, the stage explodes and Jay Kay falls on the floor, the sneaking man LED animation is seen leaving from under him, stage right. He then says "You've been erased" and fires a rocket to the antagonist, creating a huge explosion.
