Yep. Not an original video at all. It's still great.
These days sometimes the artist makes a video for an old song. For instance, Earlene Bentley made a video for "Caught In The Act" 23 years after she released it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55KOBCgv7f4
It's not exactly common, but it's interesting to see it what it happens. (her "big" hit btw, in the early 80s, in specifically gay clubs was "The Boys Come To Town" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl0fBil_4dU) ... it has that 80s hard driving orchestration ... pretty nice. The instrumentals are occasionally sampled on this one, about as much as Two Tons o' Fun are. It's always nice to overhear the latest pop song and be like "oh look, there's Barbara Roy's instrumentals from If you want me still living on".
