Synopsis

Nitzer Ebb turn the streets into a stark, kinetic stage in this performance-led video. Douglas McCarthy, Bon Harris and Julian Beeston move through an urban landscape, delivering the song with clenched physicality while the camera emphasizes their marching rhythms, repetitive gestures and confrontational presence. Industrial locations, abrupt cuts and tightly framed shots create a deliberately stripped-down visual style, matching the track's relentless electronic pulse and its insistence that there is pleasure to be found in motion, attitude and release.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video was released in 1990 to promote "Fun To Be Had," the second single from Nitzer Ebb's album "Showtime."

• The single became one of the band's strongest US chart performers, reaching No. 5 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart. It also reached No. 99 in the UK.

• The promotional version uses a shortened remix rather than simply reproducing the album recording. The song was also reworked by George Clinton and by the Dust Brothers, giving the release an unusually broad remix profile for an industrial dance single.

• The Dust Brothers' "Master Mix" was difficult to find for many years and was later restored as part of the 2018 "Body of Work" vinyl box set.

• The video was featured on "Beavis and Butt-Head" in the 1995 episode "Bad Dog," introducing the track's pounding EBM style to a wider MTV audience.
