Hey rob , this music video was directed by the Norwegian director Harold zwartz, it was part of the sound track for a movie he done called one night at mc.cools, a black comedy with liv Tyler and Michael Douglas. So the music video is has a story line influenced by the movie. The director done the music video also for the a-ha song forever not yours.
You've heard Savoy's version of the song before, Rob! The song is so smooth and beautiful, but I always got a slightly creepy feeling from it because of the lyrics. I didn't see the video until later, and despite it being rather macabre, I like it as a piece of art. Men who are lured into women's webs, where they are helpless caught by their own attraction to these women - and even if the content is influenced by Harald Zwart's movie, I think that it can also be interpreted as a continuation of the lyrics.
A-ha's music video for "Velvet" portrays the band as murder victims, opening with Morten Harket as a dead man in a bathtub: a girl killed him by electrocution, dropping a plugged hairdryer in the tub. Throughout the video he is taken to the morgue, tagged, etc., all the while singing the lyrics. Paul Waaktaar-Savoy plays his guitar while apparently dead from a gunshot to the head (shot by a girl who looks very similar to the girl who killed Morten), and Magne Furuholmen's body is found in a freezer. All three continue singing and playing while being brought to the morgue, and within it. Some scenes in the morgue controversially suggest necrophilia. The director of this video was Harald Zwart, who also directs Hollywood movies. Zwart, a fellow Norwegian, chose this song to be a part of his new film at the time, One Night at McCool's.
In Norway we have a saying about crazy exes - "hamster boilers". I always assumed this song was about one of those, but also an addiction to her getting you closer to being the hamster yourself in the end

Probably comes from the saying bunny boilers which is a reference to the movie fatal attraction
