Get Wild is a video by The NPG released for broadcast and to promote the single (released in the UK and in Europe only).

The video was presumably shot in September 1994 at the Glam Slam club in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Get Wild begins with the arrival of The NPG at the club where Mayte is already present, signing autographs. Together, they cross the dance floor (with The Exodus Has Begun) to fire the DJ Brother Jules, re-acting the DJ Gets Jumped segue included on the Exodus album. After Tora Tora beat up the DJ, the band takes their places on stage to sing Get Wild. Of note, the version is a different and long mix of the song which was not included on any physical release. Throughout the video, girls are seen going into a room with a prominent SymbolSmallerBlue.png symbol over the entry. They come out with an attitude indicating that they have had a sexual affair. When Mayte manages to enter this mysterious room, she discovers that there is only a bottle of the "Get Wild" perfume that she ends up stealing. The video ends with Sonny T. getting beaten up too after inadvertently removing a girl's wig while kissing her.

The Get Wild video is notable as it features the first appearance of Prince in disguise as Tora Tora (his face covered with a veil) and as being a commercial for the fragance of the same name.

  • A few days after the shooting of this video, Prince and Gilbert Davison had a falling ot, most likely over the ownership of the Glam Slam club in Minneapolis. Prince dissociated himself from that club as he wasn't welcome any longer. All of his memorabilia, including his guitars, clothing and that were on display at the Glam Slam shop, were removed. The next videos for The NPG were shot in Glam Slam South in Miami, Florida, which were not owned or co-owned by Gilbert Davison.
