Music and Visuals

As you can see here, the visuals match the music as they are both in sync. As he flicks the drum, it goes in sync with the beat.

Here the sound of the bells ringing is shown in this clip where the bell is being played with the song.

There are frequent references to the notion of looking and voyeuristic treatment of the female body

Here the girl is shown wearing very seductive clothes and is being made to look very seductive and like an item rather than a women.

Although the song is about love, they are clearly using a girl to portray her as a sex image by making her look very seductive.
