  The music video for his single features Melissa in a number of guises. She is seen in hot pink lingerie and in a leather Jacket, cavorting with a large block of ice.
  
  ## 2005 re-recording
  
  In 2005, Tkautz relaunched her music career with the album Lost and Found, which included two new versions of "Sexy (Is The Word)". These were contemporary remixes where new vocals were recorded, and whilst not released as a single, the song received much attention in nightclubs around Australia. There was a film clip released with this track to clubs which was a re-edited version of the original music video.
