Two promotional music videos were produced for Pool It!. The first video was for Heart and Soul. The video, which stylistically borrows heavily from The Monkees' TV series, begins in an ice factory in 1967 with the song Last Train to Clarksville playing in the background. Inside the ice factory, Davy, Micky and Peter are found frozen in blocks of ice and wearing their outfits from the Monkees television show. The video fast-forwards to 1987 where the three Monkees are thawed and learn how much has changed since the late 1960s. They decide to produce a music video in an effort to land a job and, after some comic mishaps, the video producers hand the Monkees what they claim is their video. When their prospective employer sees the video, it turns out to be taped over with a cooking show, which impresses the employer who then hires the band to work in a kitchen. The video for Heart Soul was banned from airplay on MTV, due to a dispute over the Monkees bowing out of an MTV Super Bowl special, although it received rotation on other cable outlets, including Nickelodeon. The second video was for Every Step of the Way, filmed in Los Angeles on October 9, 1987. In this video, Davy, Micky and Peter are dressed in leather gang outfits and, as the song's lyrics suggest, "hang out in [an] alley way," as an unspecified woman, the apparent object of Davy's affections, wanders in and out of the alley. Meanwhile, Micky mimes a performance on drums with trash cans, Peter mimes guitar with a broom and Davy sings into a carrot and later mimes a saxophone solo into a lead pipe. The video is also interspersed with footage of the Monkees' 1987 concert tour and concludes with on-screen dialogue detailing the ultimate fates of the girl and the three Monkees. Every Step of the Way debuted on Nickelodeon's Nick Rocks on November 6, 1987.
