   The other video was done for her US record company, Sony. She is
on EMI everywhere else in the world. They didn't "get" the real RBG
video, and asked her to do something else. So Kate deliberatly made
a cliched video with a tone of cuts and different costumes. She didn't
have a rubberband, but she was walking down a giant staircase wearing
a doctor's mirror on her forehead and the sequences with her dancer
were in black and white.
