A paperboy and other working men approach along the pavement. A man, dressed in suit and a cowboy hat, with a briefcase, walks down the path from the front door gesticulating and hollering. The video opens with a milk float approaching a row of British terraced houses. To accompany the single the band released a music video which can be viewed as a parody of US participation in the Second World War. The track was edited for release as a single, the album version being over a minute longer. The song's lyrics are the narrative of a soldier's experiences in World War II. It was also issued in a 'Flag Bag' - the 7" single wrapped in an American flag with the Russian translation of "Uncle Sam" printed on the flag. The single spent 11 weeks in British charts peaking at number 21, ending a run of 20 consecutive top 20 entries stretching back to their 1979 debut " The Prince".
