Music video

The music video for "My Mistake" has a cabaret style. It begins with most of the group in front of a stage playing the music in a dimly lit amphitheatre. Tim Finn walks onto stage and begins to sing. The stage lights up eventually and all the band members can be seen. Throughout the video, Tim Finn performs 'magic tricks' assisted by editing (such as disappearing and appearing items). As is heard on the album version of the song, Finn then scats along with the trumpet solo performed by band member Robert Gillies. At the end of the video, while playing, Gillies' trumpet disappears, and Eddie Rayner's piano disappears as he's playing it.

gollark: And it's *bad* if having stuff be shouted about loudly enough means it can be banned *even if it doesn't affect anyone except the person choosing to do it*.
gollark: If your government *is allowed to do that sort of thing*, then given that people are terrible it will inevitably be expanded to cover stuff which is Clearly Immoral™.
gollark: If they want to go through it, sure?
gollark: > i'd support banning it straight through, independent of any mechanisms, as peer-reviewed research has showed it's shitIf you go around banning it, though, *there is clearly a way your government can ban that stuff*, hence meaning there's a mechanism for and/or support for it. And that's bad.
