The song says "There is something about the weather, that everybody loves, they call it the Indian spring of Sacramento". Just for starters. This was not the age of video yet, and who know how much record companies spent on videos of any sort. So, not surprisingly, the Scottish band Middle of the Road, who was really popular in Norther Europe, rather than shooting the video in Sacramento, California, shot it in the canals of Amsterdam, Netherlands, in typical gloomy, grey weather.
It did not matter much. The song about California's capital was catchy, and Sally Carr, the looker that she was back in the day, kept everyone interested with tons of charm. Admittedly, her nasal voice was an acquired taste.
So, in spite of any shortcomings, this is one of my favorite videos.
