|Quotations & trivia = The video features [[Prince]] playing an ''Orr bass'', (named after its luthier Charles Orr), an instrument [[Prince]] used to record almost all the basslines on [[Album: For You|For You]] album. The bass had seldom been seen or cited in credits since 1978, but made an appearance in the [[Video: My Name Is Prince|My Name Is Prince]] video. [[Prince]] also uses a ''Gibson L6-S Deluxe'' guitar (customized with red blinking led lights), an instrument he would stop using after having heavily customizing it, until he ultimately opted for the ''Hohner Telecaster'' guitar in 1980. | |Quotations & trivia = The video features [[Prince]] playing an ''Orr bass'', (named after its luthier Charles Orr), an instrument [[Prince]] used to record almost all the basslines on [[Album: For You|For You]] album.
