I need help identifying a music video from the '90s

Hello everyone,
For years now, I've been racking my brain trying to remember more information about a particular music video that I saw one or twice on MTV when I was in high school........ sometime around 1997-1999. If I remember it correctly, it was a strange music video that was all shot in black and white. The genre of music was probably alternative rock, more on the pop side as the song was kind of upbeat and fun. Okay, he goes the description of the music video as best as I can remember it.
If I remember it correctly, this was a black and white music video that took place almost entirely inside of a liquor store (or possibly a grocery store) out in the middle of nowhere (rural area). The lead singer is walking up and down the aisles as he sings, and his band is playing their instruments in various parts of the store as well.
More customers enter the store as the video goes on, and eventually it turns into a giant party inside of the store! Everyone is having a good time! I think at one point there is even a Mexican mariachi band at this party.
Towards the end of the video, right when you thought it couldn't get any more strange, a UFO shows up and hovers over the store. The ship beams up the entire store (or maybe just some of the band members) and flys off.
Did this music video actually happen or was it just some strange fever dream that I had as a teenager!? Or........ did I somehow mash up a few different music videos in my head that were around that same time. I'm now in my 40s, and my memory is not as good as it used to be!!!! hahahahahaha
I appreciate any help you guys can provide with this odd, vague memory!
Thank you,
Andrew
