'''The Daisy Chain''' is a playful video with an amateurish quality reminiscent of the [[Video: Alphabet St.|Alphabet Street]]. It features [[Geneva]] prominently, dancing in front of a large daisy projected on a backdrop. [[Prince]] is shown wearing an NPG basketball jersey and (uncharacteristically) Nike sneakers. [[Kip Blackshire]] and [[DVS]] are present throughout the video, singing and playing basket ball with him. Also featured are a young child picking the petals of a daisy and [[Larry Graham]] playing bass with the band.
