File:Paul McCartney - Spies Like Us (U.S. Promo Version, Remastered)

Filmed at Abbey Road Studios in October 1985 with Paul and the actors from the movie “Spies Like Us“: Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Donna Dixon and Vanessa Angel. Scenes from the film are also interspersed. The most noticeable differences in this version is the inclusion of the actresses singing the backing vocals towards the end, however they are not the only ones. The video is four seconds longer than the UK version, an additional chorus of the phrase “Spies Like Us” is included near the end but also, there are different scenes of Paul, Dan, and Chevy inside Abbey Road Studios. The total number of different scenes between the UK and US versions are: 10.

The audio is an exclusive edit made for this video (it also differs from the UK Version – see above), trimmed to just 3:21, although the video is longer due to the sequences between Paul and the actors arriving at the studios. It is still not available in any official release but can be found on Bootleg DVDs.
