The video was streamed on the website in the [[Album: MPLSound|MPLSound]] section, a futuristic scene showing a sonic blue Fender Stratocaster guitar backed by skyscrapers (one having the form of a synthesizer) in-between which a zeppelin could be seen hovering in purple skies a-lit with flashes of lightening. A click on the zeppelin granted access to the '''Chocolate Box''' video. |
The video takes place at night and shows [[Prince]] singing on a large screens set on top of a series of skyscrapers and a futuristic all mechanic zeppelin, borrowing similarities with a bigger feature in "Blade Runner" movie. The pitch features a male dressed in black (inside of his coat is purple) chasing a female also dressed in black (inside of coat is red); they jump from one building top to another in a "Matrix" movie like fashion. | The video takes place at night and shows [[Prince]] singing on a large screens set on top of a series of skyscrapers and a futuristic all mechanic zeppelin, borrowing similarities with a bigger feature in "Blade Runner" movie.

In a flash a purple crystal ball appears, embedding [[Prince]]’s face in it. Both have been "teleported" into [[Lotusflow3r.com]] website, and now challenge each other in a "capoeira" style dance. In the end the female grabs the male necklace and they seem to unite, holding each others hand. |

A commercial was created using [[Prince]]’s performance of [[Laydown]] on [[13_April_2011-m|13 April 2011 at Lopez Tonight]] intertwined with basketball players to promote both the NBA playoffs on TNT and the [[Welcome_2_America_Tour|21 Nite Stand]], but it is not considered as a video for the song. | ||
