Quote:The song features Alex Van Halen's double bass drum performance, and its music video, featuring the band as both adults and young students.

The music video (directed by Pete Angelus and David Lee Roth,[8] and produced by Jerry Kramer and Glenn Goodwin, choreographed by Vincent Paterson with concept/treatment by Anthony Nasch) was filmed at John Marshall High School,[9] with Phil Hartman performing the voice of Waldo, the video's protagonist.

Waldo, an awkward boy with large glasses and a bow tie, is put on the school bus by his over-protective mother. He is terrified by the unruly kids on the bus; the driver played by Roth, tells him "si'down, Waldo!" as the opening drums begin. Along with Waldo, the "kid versions" of Van Halen face the trials and tribulations of grade school. Two models appear as teachers in the video,

Donna Rupert (1981 Miss Canada pageant runner up), who plays the chemistry teacher, and Lillian Müller, who plays the Phys Ed teacher. Both teachers tear off their dresses to reveal a bikini, to the cheers of the students. At the end of the video, the kids are shown to have grown up to become a gynecologist (Alex Van Halen), a sumo wrestler (Michael Anthony), a psychiatric hospital patient (Edward Van Halen), and a game show host (Roth).

While it is said that no one was sure what Waldo grew up to be, the video hints at him becoming a playa', the total opposite of his child self. This is intercut with scenes with the band members dressed in red suits and dancing to the song under a disco ball.
