Music videos

A music video was released accompanying the single off the album, "It's a Jungle Out There". Although the exact meaning is disputed, it shows an attractive woman in a "watering hole" being flirted with by the band's three lead vocalists and other bystanders. After the woman has had enough, she goes on dates with the singers and a bystander, then vanishes into thin air while on the date, tricking them into thinking she was actually in love with each, when in reality, it was only a plot to get rid of them. The video ends with a shot of her sitting alone in the "watering hole", having tricked and scared off every man who was interested in her.<ref>"It's a Jungle Out There" Official Music Video</ref>

The video was released on the Stet recording label and received "Light" and "Medium" screenplay.<ref>Cash Box Magazine Merchandising October 8, 1983</ref>

Another video was recorded for "Shot in the Dark", directed by David Minasian. Although never commercially released, it was filmed on the set of the television program Fantasy Island, and on the streets of Beverly Hills, California.<ref>David Minasian Three Dog Night Gallery</ref>
