The surrealist black and white video uses stop motion, light painting, and other retro in-camera effects techniques. Additional inspiration was drawn from Jean Baudrillard, Edvard Munch's 1894 painting "Puberty", and Roland Barthes " Death of the Author".

The music video for "Risky", written and directed by Meiert Avis, won the first ever MTV "Breakthrough Video Award". In 1987, Pop appeared (along with Bootsy Collins) on a mostly instrumental album, Neo Geo by Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. I really loved the music on it and this single I still sing to myself. In the late 1980's I had a copy of Ryuichi Sakamoto's Neo Geo Album.
