Synopsis

Phil Collins performs "Strangers Like Me" in a lush jungle setting, surrounded by vines, rocks, and tropical foliage.

The video mirrors the song's sense of discovery, using Collins as the on-screen storyteller while the animated footage illustrates Tarzan's excitement, curiosity, and desire to understand the strangers who have entered his life.
