Back in the nascent days of MTV, I vividly remember getting in a heated debate with my friend Ted about the location of this video. Based on the glitz and glamor of the setting, I remember asserting that the ritzy New York City hotel wherein the narrative of this videos plays out in must be the fabled Plaza on 59th Street. Ted, meanwhile, was ADAMANT -- despite being from New Jersey and never spending huge amounts of time in Manhattan himself -- that the Plaza Hotel did not have big floral planters outside its entrance. I'm not quite sure why this was all such a huge deal to us as the time, but I think it almost came to fisticuffs at one point. We were little hot-tempered kids back then.
Decades later, Wikipedia asserts that Ted was right. The hotel in question is the St. Regis on East 55th.
Ted, I owe you a milkshake.
