Mix in the video is slightly longer than the promo 12" (with even more rap), so there must be multiple takes.

I forget if the mix is identical to the promo but David’s extended facts rap can be heard in the rarely-seen music video, directed by Toni Basil and featuring street dance legend Stephen “Skeeter Rabbit” Nichols.
