No story line, it's not me singing to a girl, you get a good sense of what you're going to get live...It's very VHS - y .

You'd have to stand by the TV with, like, aluminum foil all over you ." </P> <P> Hugh McIntire of Billboard explained the video, writing, "Everything about "Locked Out of Heaven"--whether it be the video or the track itself--is retro .

Only the Akai MPC sampler being played by a band member reminds the viewer that this video is, in fact, modern ." </P>
