The single's video recreated scenes made famous by Brigitte Bardot in the 1956 film And God Created Woman. It shows Kylie in 50's clothing, and bathing attire telling a guy that she's "no fool" and pushing him away in the shadow of blinded windows and silhouetted frustration.

Originally planned as the follow up to ‘Better The Devil You Know’, The track was specially remixed for single release and accompanied by, arguably, one of Kylie’s most controversial, yet visually stunning, video clips to date. Directed by Dave Hogan, the video to the single continued Minogue's transition to "sex siren". The sequence had Minogue appearting in various guises and diverse locations-- a swimming pool, a fairground, doing the ironing in a French maid’s costume, and dancing with a female friend in a club (played by her actress sister Dannii Minogue who was to launch her UK music career later that year). The sexual undertones running through the video proved too much for Saturday morning TV shows which aired a censored version of the video.
In relation to this video Kylie is quoted as saying "...how many Hollywood stars can you look like in 3 1/2 minutes..". Kylie loves the glam and glitter of the sirens of the Hollywood age and was nodding her head in respect to them in this video. Her love of this genre was to become apparent and done with great aplomb later in her Showgirl extravaganza. This video was her first homage to her heroines.
Street Fighter 1994
Street Fighter is a 1994 action film based on Capcom's popular fighting game series Street Fighter. It was written and directed by Steven E. de Souza.
Although it was based on Street Fighter II, the movie also features characters from Super Street Fighter II. It starred an international and multicultural cast that included Jean-Claude Van Damme (in the role of William F. Guile), Raúl Juliá in his last film (as General M. Bison) and pop singer Kylie Minogue (Cammy) along with Native American actor Wes Studi (as Victor Sagat), Chinese American actor Ming-Na (as Chun-Li) and African American actor Grand L. Bush (as Balrog).
The movie altered the plot of the original game and motives of the Street Fighter characters. It also significantly lightened the tone of the adaptation, inserting several comical interludes into the mix (for instance one particular fight scene between E. Honda and Zangief plays homage to the old Godzilla movies).
A fighting game based on the movie was released in the arcades and later for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn consoles, published by Acclaim instead of Capcom. It used digitized footage of the actors performing fight moves, similar to the presentation in the Mortal Kombat series of games.
