Music Video
There are two versions of the music video of the single. The main version has Prince in a leopard shirt and jeans singing alone in a black background with only a mic. Various shots show Prince playing the instruments by himself.
The other version which is not featured on The Hits Collection compilation shows Prince and band members at the time in a tan painted room. This video was pulled because of skimpy clothing. The video is widely sought after by collectors.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“Music is either sacred or secular. The sacred agrees with its dignity, and here has its greatest effect on life, an effect that remains the same through all ages and epochs. Secular music should be cheerful throughout.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
