The music video for Lionel Richie's "All Night Long" uses visuals that relate to the music and lyrics. Scenes of Caribbean dancers match the bongo and steel drum beat in the background. As the song picks up tempo, Lionel Richie and the crowd start dancing. During the lyrics "all my friends" he gestures to the crowd, and when singing "raise the roof" a dancer rises up with the lyrics. The video focuses on close ups of Lionel Richie, contrasting him with others in shadow, and shows an extreme close up of him dancing with another person. The video does not include any voyeurism of women or intertextual references.
