+ | The video was shot on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November_8| 8 November 1994]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, Minnesota. The first version was premiered on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_3|3 March 1995]] before the concert given at the Wembley Arena in London, England and shown before the concerts of the [[The Ultimate Live Experience]] tour in Europe (along with videos for [[Video: 18 & Over|18 & Over]], [[Video: Zannalee|Zannalee]] and [[Video: Empty Room|Empty Room]]). Special effects (including digitally created records spinning) were added for in June 1996 for the official release of the video. | ||

+ | "''The Same December''' alludes to [[Prince]]’s conflict with record companies and compares it to the conflict between black and white North Americans (illustrated with [[The NPG]]’s member faces painted in black and white). Of note, [[Mayte]] wears the same angel outfit as in the video for [[Video: Empty Room|Empty Room]]. <br> | ||
+ | [[Morris Hayes]] portrays a business executive, who forces [[Prince]] to sign a lifetime record contract and pays off a shady-looking [[Sonny T.]] with money from Prince’s briefcase. However, [[Prince]] soon returns to the conference room with two bodyguards and | ||
+ | proceeds to beat [[Morris Hayes|Hayes]] up and physically throw him out of Paisley Park. Oddly, the video starts with the outro of the song." | ||
