Today’s music video of the day features France’s XYZ rocking out in the desert, with the help of some hard-working models.

XYZ was formed in 1978 and, after ten years of playing Europe, New York, and Los Angeles, they finally got a record contract in 1989.  The self-titled album was produced by Don Dokken who later said that the experience was difficult because the band’s lead singer had a thick French accent and the other members of the band was incapable of vocally harmonizing with him.  This led to Dokken singing backing vocals for most the songs, including this one.

The video was directed by Craig Morse.  On the IMDb, this is the only music video that he is credited with directing.  Of course, the IMDb often lists music videos without crediting a director so it’s possible that Morse might have a few more videos to his name.  Or he might just be a rare example of a one-and-done music video director.

This single was successful enough to XYZ went on tour with Ted Nugent.  The band, however, broke up shortly afterwards.

Enjoy!
