1. The clip, i.e. the light-hearted, suggestive lyrics, the fancy dress, artistic set, etc. is an entertaining escape. I agree with those who said that the depiction is one of weath, power, fame, fortune which offers more of an allure than a turn-off and then on to frustration, envy or any other negative feeling bordering or stimulating depression.
2. The clip depicts desire, striving, competition, interest, being pursued, sought, possibilities, hope, investment opportunities for growth, being greater than and success which I would think would be welcomed notions in the midst of contrary thoughts and feelings relative to the reality of the depression ear.
3. Pre-code would have allowed for more body exposure, less modest apparel, the movement on stage would be more provocative.
