- Babes? Dodgy looking bird carrying there gear around...
- Poofy Hair? All I need say is 'Sigue Sigue Sputnik'
- Torn Clothing? Fish nets and dodgy high heels plus copious amounts of torn clothing
- Cheesy Keyboards? Not cheesy but high powered!!!!!

- Stage Effects? Great effects especially the front man who was played by a dwarf called Martin Degville wielding a UZI thats bigger than him. AND FIRING IN TO THE CAMERA.'WOW'
- Wild Instrumental solo? EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF GUITAR THAT MADE EARS BLEED
- Storyline? What plot there was was them looking hard (in high heels) wielding guns, and playing drum machines. But in the song it included repeated sample of 'Terminator, Terminator' so that counts
- Cool Automobile? A couple of old style American wagons
- Sunglasses? Sigue Sigue were scared of there own reflections so dark glasses were a necessity
