Holly Rock is a video released posthumously in conjunction with the release of the Originals album. The video accompanies the Prince vocal studio (edited) version of the song from that album.
As with videos for Nothing Compares 2 U and Manic Monday, there were no footage of Prince alone in the studio available singing this track. Instead of using rehearsal footage, it was decided to create a comic book style video with Prince designed wearing his Purple Rain iconic outfits. The link with the Krush Groove is recalled through the calligraphy and graffitis.
After MPLS in 1994, this is the second video related to Prince which is treated as a cartoon.
