Music video
The song's music video features the band members performing in drag, with Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald and Mark McKinney from The Kids in the Hall, themselves often noted for drag performances, as stereotypically macho jocks in the audience until Foley inexplicably turns into a woman.[https://www.bclocalnews.com/entertainment/odds-heading-to-cumberland/ "Odds heading to Cumberland"].
