Desire (Your Kiss Kills): DVD Single is a DVD single from the British singer Geri Halliwell, released on 30 May 2005. The video includes the uncut version of the music video for "Desire", the music video for her previous single "Ride It", a making-of documentary of the "Desire" video, as well as a photo gallery.[9]
Music video
Directed by Andy Morahan,[10] the music video of "Desire" opens with Halliwell waking up at 7:10 a.m. to the sound of the alarm clock. After hopping out of bed, she heads for the refrigerator and grabs a bottle of milk, which she drinks suggestively, before leaving for work. On her way to work, a dog that is being walked by a woman suddenly starts to bark at Halliwell.
Upon arriving at work, she is seen staring flirtatiously at her boss (played by actor Leon Ockenden),[11] who is in his room. She stops by her boss's room to hand him the folders he had previously asked her to take care of, and then proceeds to behave provocatively around him.
Right after leaving his room, Halliwell starts fantasising about him, which involves her crawling across his desk and drinking milk from a saucer. She is then seen performing a choreography with other four women dressed as secretaries, intercut with scenes of her making out with her boss in his room. After waking up from her daydream, she notices her boss is leaving and decides to follow him home, where she turns into a black cat after walking through his window. The boss takes the cat in and pets it in his bed.
The video ends with Halliwell stopping her alarm clock at 7:11 a.m. and holding her pillow tight with a pleased look on her face, indicating that she had been dreaming the entire time.
