The music video for the song depicts all involved in the record (including the steel band and choir) performing in a party atmosphere on board an aeroplane piloted by
Chas Smash and co-piloted by
Suggs. They all bail out in a small white van after Smash loses control of the plane, the final sequence shows the van, a first-generation
Iveco Daily, parachuting gently down to earth. However, there is the back of a
Ford Transit shown on the plane before the fall. The clips of the parachuting Iveco Daily were originally filmed for a French television advert for the van.
Dave Robinson, the founder of
Stiff Records, as well as the sole director of Madness' music videos, had bought the rights to the footage some time earlier with the intention of including it in a Madness video, and the lyrical content of "Wings of a Dove" gave him the opportunity to use it. ==Track listing==
