The music video for "Come As You Are" is based on Bobby Van's memorable "street dance" from "Small Town Girl (1953)." In the video, Peter Wolf hops around a 1950s small town similar to the one in the movie, and he passes a poster for Small Town Girl as a direct reference to the inspiration for the video.
