Lesson learned in the new video for Mark Ronson's Uptown Special single, "I Can't Lose": never underestimate the power of a trumpet. As you'll discover, a brass blast levels the competition during the clip's nightclub battle scene.

The video is loaded with an assortment of shadowy crowd members and neon-lit instruments, the latter including Ronson's shiny electric twanger. Together, he, guest vocalist Keyone Starr and the rest of a backup band pump out a particularly potent, '80s-minded soul-pop number for the audience.

There's some shady business going on as well, with both narratives dovetailing into a choreographed neon display that somehow brings together the aesthetics of Michael Jackon's "Smooth Criminal" video with the 1960s Batman TV series.
