An edit from the video was released on the [[Home Video: 3 Chains O’ Gold|3 Chains O’ Gold]] home video with a completely different second part. After the main stage performance, the music ends abruptly. Alternate scenes of [[Prince]] and unidentified girl having sex in the bedroom are included interspersed footage of [[Mayte]] dancing wildly during an Arabic ceremony until she goes in a trance and faint (this part was most likely filmed in Egypt with [https://www.randeestnicholas.com/ Randee St. Nicholas] in late 1991).
