Music video

The music video for the song depicts the band playing on a large, step-pyramid-like structure, with a crowd of women in different attires (women in Roman togas, women in red one-piece swimsuit and swim caps, women in police or military dress uniforms) below marching to the song. Throughout the video, various movies and clips are displayed with Angus Young superimposed on them. This video was released on the DVD Family Jewels Disc 3 as part of the 2009 box set Backtracks.
