The video for the song has a
Wizard of Oz motif, with Blues Traveler playing behind a curtain in a nightclub while a young, "hip" and more "photogenic" group
appears to be playing the song.
Dorothy Gale (Diana Marquis), the main character of the story, tries to get into the club. She is turned away by the doorman, as are three other people whose appearances resemble the
Scarecrow, the
Cowardly Lion, and
Tin Woodman characters. They rush to the locked back door, where they catch a glimpse of the show. Finding a club-goer passed out nearby, Dorothy transfers the stamp on his hand to her own and to the hands of her three companions, and they are able to get inside. By this time, several brief shots of the actual band have been seen; they are playing the song in a darkened back area, with several bouncers guarding the entrance, and the onstage group is only lip-synching and miming in time. As Dorothy begins to realize something is amiss, her dog
Toto slips past the bouncers and pulls open a curtain to expose the real band. She and the other three are quickly whisked away and the curtain is yanked shut by the club owner (
Ken Ober) as the song ends. Although the video for this song shows a
Kansas driver's license, the license shown was not the current design but instead the design the state used in the mid to late 1980s. The name appearing on the license was misspelled as "Dorthy". The song was ranked number 76 in
VH1'S 100 Greatest Songs of the '90s. ==Live performances==
