Music video "Zombie" was released as a music video in 1995. The video was directed by Samuel Bayer, and produced by Doug Friedman and H.S.I. Productions. In the video, Dolores O'Riordan is covered in gold paint surrounded by children. She is reminiscent of the classic image of Saint Sebastian. The video also contains shots of British soldiers on patrol in Northern Ireland. The video production crew gained the full cooperation of the unsuspecting British troops by posing as a documentary film crew. The soldiers were told the documentary was to be about the day to day operations of various peace keeping/occupation forces. This was timely as 1995 was the last year British forces were visibly present in Northern Ireland.
