[1] When asked about the song meaning, lead guitarist Wolf Hoffmann said: Filmed in January 1984 in London, the song's music video consists of clips of the band performing the song onstage intercut with scenes of a wrecking ball taking down a clock tower and scenes with fans of the band headbanging against the wall of the tower.

Later during the buildup to the final chorus, the fans march through the rubble of the tower, and presumably head towards the stage where the band is performing.

At the end of the video, singer Udo Dirkschneider rides the wrecking ball into the tower and takes out the front doors of the building it stands upon.

When he discussed the scene with songfacts.com, Dirkschneider explained he was apprehensive about riding the ball because of the cold, wintry conditions on the day of the shoot, but decided to do it in the end.

[3] The song was also edited down for the video, with the guitar solo and Dirkschneider's spoken bridge being removed.
