The B-side on both the 7 inch and 12 inch vinyl singles featured an instrumental version of "Bad Boys".
The video starts in a vintage sepia tone of black and white, and features a man who returns home from the army (or National Service) to his wife and young boy in the 1940s/50s. They eat tea at the table, before the boy ventures outside in his school uniform. He starts causing trouble by firing his catapult at a lady's rear, and also bullying another child.
In the next scene, the sepia tone disappears, and the setting is the 60s. The focus is now on George Michael, who is dressed in a studded leather jacket. He argues with his parents about going out without their permission. There is a brief interlude shot in colour, which features George and Andrew in an old car with a seductive woman. The final scene features a Thriller style dance routine set in a misty street.
During the 1980's, Wham! achieved success with nine Top 10 singles and a #15 with the Club Fantastic Megamix in the UK - four singles reached the top of the charts - and five Top 10 singles in the U.S.
