The video for the 1991 remix is a much more sexualized version, starting with the refrain 'sugar sweet', with extra footage spliced throughout, including a similar black carriage riding at night with the driver covered in lights, escorted by police motorcycles, scantily clad girls in black leather riding outside it, and bright neon fashions inside, resembling earlier-century formal wear. Later, he is shown dressed as Mozart, with wild colored hair, being held on the shoulders of men dressed in modern motorcycle-riding attire. Falco is shown in a 20th-century-style dinner jacket, walking past people in eighteenth-century formal wear. The song's music video mixes elements of Mozart's time with 1980s contemporary society.
