I’m trying to find an English-language pop song (remix) from the 1990s or early 20000s — I saw the music video on TV back then (not YouTube), possibly on a channel like MTV or VH1.

The music video had a clear storyline where:

  • man dreams he’s saving a girl in a Chinese restaurant.
  • There is a martial arts fight scene, which may have been stylized, comedic, or fantasy-like — similar to old kung fu movie parodies or dream sequences.
  • fortune cookie is a key part of the plot.
  • The fortune reads “Help Yourself,” but the man misreads it as “Help”, thinking the woman is in danger.
  • This misinterpretation causes him to jump into action, likely fighting or rescuing her.
  • The tone of the video is likely humorous, romantic, or surreal, not overly serious.
  • There may have been a twist ending revealing that nothing was actually wrong — it was all in his head or just a dream.
  • The artist was likely a solo pop singer, and the video had a cinematic or narrative feel, possibly parodying martial arts movies.

I can’t remember the artist, the lyrics, or the exact song title — just the video’s story and vibe.

If anyone remembers this music video or has any idea what song it might be, I’d really appreciate your help!
