Synopsis

Jesus Jones perform "Never Enough" in a deliberately exaggerated rock-star setting, surrounded by a feverish crowd of screaming female fans. The video alternates between concert footage, mock newspaper headlines and staged images that present the band as larger than life - even bigger than The Beatles. Its satirical climax shows Jesus Jones records being thrown onto a bonfire, turning the group's apparent pop-culture triumph into a joke about fame, hype and the disposable nature of celebrity.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video plays on John Lennon's infamous 1966 comment that The Beatles were "bigger than Jesus." Jesus Jones are presented as bigger than The Beatles, extending the religious and pop-cultural joke suggested by the band's name.

• The production used deliberately fabricated newspaper headlines to create the impression that Jesus Jones had become a cultural phenomenon overnight.

• The screaming female fans were reportedly paid GBP90 each for their participation, an amusing contrast to the video's presentation of their enthusiasm as spontaneous hysteria.

• Bob Freeman worked as cinematographer. Freeman had previously been The Beatles' official photographer during the 1960s and photographed several of the group's early album covers.

• "Never Enough" was released as the second single from Jesus Jones' debut album, "Liquidizer," on June 26, 1989. The single narrowly missed the UK Top 40.

• The song had the early working title "Last Ditch."

• The video was later included in the band's 1991 video compilation "Big in Alaska," which gathered promotional clips from the "Liquidizer" and "Doubt" periods.
