After Karol and her friend escape from the belly of a whale, it is shown to have its middle stripped down to the bone, apparently still alive.

Karol's friend (a small orange flying creature) is dragged into a bush by a pink rabbit. As evidenced by the hearts floating out of the bush, they did make love. However, later this creature is shown sadly waving goodbye to his apparent wife and children.

Karol, the titular pink alien character, is of ambiguous age. It's possible she's a child, as the video is aimed at children, and she does appear visibly frightened when surrounded by flirtatious blue rabbits and inside the stomach of a whale. Both times, though, she is soon back to her happy, dancing self.

Fish can be seen eating each other, though they may be of differing species.

Two fish get swallowed whole by larger fish, and Karol and her friend are later treated the same way by a whale. However, the two are none too distressed over the situation, and even have a dance party inside its stomach. Karol and her friend emerge unharmed.

Only in the sense that the whale that "eats" Karol dives underwater, but she's fine.

No, but later in the music video, a factory can be seen producing clones of Karol, to her anger. It's never explained how or why these clones were made, or who made them.

No, but in one particular scene, Karol discovers a large vehicle (probably some kind of submarine or warship) producing clones of her. Enraged, Karol and her friend disrupt the operation by messing with the machinery, with red lights and (presumably) alarms going off. Although we don't actually see this vessel explode or disassemble, it's implied by it shaking and glowing red in its last appearance.

Karol can be seen screaming (in a stereotypical "hands-holding-head" kind of way), but, being a music video, these are silent gestures and no screaming is heard.

Anytime Karol leaves a location, she doesn't give a proper farewell. Her friend, though, does wave goodbye (using a tissue) to his partner.

It is unknown what becomes of the whale after Karol escapes it, as it doesn't appear in the party, while the rabbits and fish skeletons do.

A small pink fish is eaten by an orange fish, who is then, in turn, eaten by a large green fish. This is played for laughs, although it comes to the apparent shock of Karol.

Various fish skeletons appear inside the belly of a whale (and later at the big dance party at the end), but both times they are seen animate and even dancing.

No, but vats of toxic waste and naval mines can be seen inside the belly of a whale. An explosion is never seen, but it could be implied that this is what caused the whale to lose most of its skin.
