After delivering the album to the label, Bowie travelled to Australia in February 1983 to film the music videos for the first two singles, "Let's Dance" and "China Girl". The video for "Let's Dance" was directed by Bowie himself and David Mallet, the director of Bowie's "Lodger" and "Ashes to Ashes" videos. The video itself has nothing to do with the song itself, except for a brief glimpse of red shoes. It follows a young Aborigine couple doing various activities that seduce them to the commercialism of white urban Australia. Bowie appears singing the lyrics into the camera. The video is an allegory meant to represent the treatment of Aborigine people by white Australian capitalists. The video for "China Girl", again directed by Mallet, is similar in its theme of clashing perspectives, juxtaposing Sydney executives against the city's Chinese population. It features New Zealand actress Geeling Ng who, with Bowie, recreate the famous beach scene from "From Here to Eternity" (1953). Buckley writes that the provocative allegories and scenes of the videos guaranteed heavy rotation on MTV.
