In some shots [[Prince]] is over-imposed in a close-up, when he is also shown in the background. There are also images of a blueish green apple on a branch, and a humming bird, the deeper meaning of which (if any) is uncertain. | ||

|Quotations & trivia = An unreleased slightly alternate version of this video exist. Its colors seem to have more of a green hue and there are less lyrics and objects floating through the screen, which are sometimes also in a different color. Instead there are more close-up shots of [[Prince]] singing, but at no point the alternate take is spectacularly different. The alternate also runs three seconds longer, but this is mostly the fade out at the end which is slightly extended. | |Quotations & trivia = An unreleased slightly alternate version of this video exist.
