The video features Sophie Dahl and William S. Burroughs in his final filmed performance.
The song was the third of six singles from U2's Pop, the only album by the band to feature more than five singles and promotion videos.
The video was filmed in Kansas City, Missouri.
The production of a portion of the video required the closure of Interstate 670, a major downtown Kansas City freeway, as well as several local streets.
The song features excerpts from "Trayra Boia," written by Naná Vasconcelos and Denise Milan.
