Music video
The video for the song was directed by David Meyers, and filmed in South Miami Beach, Florida although the opening shot is of Ipanema, Brazil. The three women appearing in the video are Jaime Pressly, Nichole Galicia, and Kim Smith.[3]
As Steven Tyler is shown on the beach, the music video depicted the summer activities of the girls in different time points:
- '6:45: The Morning After' - Jaime takes a photo of a guy she sleeps with as he is still sleeping and leaves.
- '10:00 AM: The Kiss and Tell' - Jaime meets up with Kim and Nichole as they go over their photos.
- '1:45 PM: Retail Therapy' - The girls go into a swimwear store and try on bikinis. Kim seduces a desk clerk to make out with her until Jaime and Nichole get her out of there.
- '2:23 PM: The Mating Call' - When the girls cross the street and are complimented by some guys in a car, Jaime licks the Mercedes Benz symbol hood ornament on the hood of the car, then pulls it off and puts it in her purse as they walk away.
- '4:00 PM: The Beautification Hour' - The girls arrive at the beach in their string bikinis where Jaime and Nichole sunbathe while Kim relaxes in the surf. When a guy comes up to Jaime, she pulls down his swim trunks as he runs off.
- '5:00 PM: The Sand Off' - The girls wash the sand off of them at a beach shower as a boy watches them. The girls just smile at the boy.
- '6:10 PM: Breakin' the Law' - The girls ride motorscooters in a "No Motorized Vehicles Allowed" area.
- '7:43 PM: Soul Searching' - While Jaime relaxes in the bathtub and Nichole relaxes on the deck, Kim does some soul searching and leaves a message on her parents’ answering machine.
- '10:27 PM: The Wine 'n Dine' - At a restaurant, the girls have dinner and wine. When it comes to the bill being expensive, the girls run out.
- '3:14 AM: We Be Clubbing' - The girls dance at a beach club. While Nichole and Kim dance in the suds, a guy bumps into Jaime who ends up slapping him.
In the final scene, Tyler finds a sandwich on the beach. When he puts it in his mouth, he learns too late that it was a bait as Tyler is reeled into the ocean.
