The video for Tex Pistol's chart-topping, electro-pop tinged remake of 'The Game of Love' is a stylish triumph for budding teenage director Paul Middleditch - and one of the high points of New Zealand music video making in the 1980s. Tex Pistol, aka former member of Th'Dudes Ian Morris, is dressed in black and white with silver tipped cowboy boots and big red semi-acoustic guitar; while the soundstage, covered in a sheen of water, and blacked out except for a handful of spotlights, is all reflective surfaces for Morris and backing vocalist Callie Blood.

Brilliant song, and a brilliant video. I can't believe Paul Middleditch was only a teenager when he made this video, and Tex & Rikki's other videos! These would be my most favourite NZ music videos of all time. Great work Paul, what a talent.
Aroha nui Ian, you were a beautiful soul. And a brilliant man. We miss you ... xxx
