Music video
The music video for "Sexy Eyes" was directed by Italian director Giacomo De Simone and filmed in Porto Venere, Italy.[2] It begins with Whigfield arriving town, driving in her car. This time she has curls in her hair and wears black sunglasses. The singer leaves her car, brings a silver hard case with her and dances on her way through the narrow alleys of the city. She stops by a gypsy woman, who sells white porcelain cats, but refuses to buy when the woman offers her one. Along the way, three white-dressed sailors suddenly appear, chasing and dancing with Whigfield. A scene shows her kissing one of them. Then the sailors disappear, one by one. At the end of the video, back in her car, Whigfield opens her hard case, which reveals three porcelain cats inside. As the singer drives away, the three sailors appears in her car.[3]
