|Introduction = '''Sexy M.F.''' is | |Introduction = '''Sexy M.F.''' is a [[Prince and the New Power Generation]] video released for broadcast and to promote the [[Single: Sexy M.F.|single]]. | ||
It was shot at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota, in late March 1992, before leaving on the [[Diamonds And Pearls Tour]]. | |||
Like the [[Video: Cream|Cream]], the video contains a long introduction with [[Prince]] and The [[Game Boyz]] crashing [[The NPG]]’s weekly card game in typical "gangster glam" fashion. [[Prince]] spots three women (actress [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Byer Troy Beyer], [[Robin Power]] and model Tracy Hudson) and 'orders' them to join him (pointing them with his 'Gun Mic' that became a regular props on future tours). After the [[The NPG]] showed their displeasure and the performance of the song, the girls end up following [[Prince]] and The [[Game Boyz]]. An edited version of the video exists which includes the "censored" version of the song (the curse words are replaced with [[Prince]]’s yelp). | |||
During the video, [[Damon Dickson]] is seen reading the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_(magazine) Billboard magazine] (the [https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/90s/1992/Billboard-1992-02-29.pdf February 29, 1992 issue]) with a prominent advertisement for the upcoming [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chic_(band) Chic] album [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chic-ism Chic-ism] on the last page. Visual mentions to other artists were rare in [[Prince]]’s videos until then, much to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile_Rodgers Nile Rodgers]’ delight : ''"watch the '''Sexy M.F.''' video : one of his dancers has a Chic album in his hands. It’s the best promotion we've ever had. At the time, we were persona non grata."'' | |||
Of note, [[Robin Power]] and [[Lori Elle (Werner)|Diamond]] and make their last appearence in a [[Prince]] video. [[Robia LaMorte|Pearl]] is featured in the video for [[Video: The Continental|The Continental]] released later that year. | |||
The video was included on the [[Home_Video:_Sexy_MF|Sexy M.F.]] home video and incorporated into the storyline of the [[Home Video: 3 Chains O’ Gold|3 Chains O’ Gold]] home video. | |||
