− | In the video, [[Prince]] does the ''Wooden leg'' dance, created as a response to [[Morris Day]]'s song [[The Oak Tree]]. In concert, [[Prince]] introduced that dance by saying : ''"We're gonna have to chop that (Oak Tree) down this evening. We're gonna chop that down and make a wooden leg out of it."'' [[Prince]] replayed this choreography for [[Kiss] when performed live on most future tours. The idea of the veiled woman, in the video portrayed by Dutch dance Monique Mannen, was an integral part of the performance of the song on the [[Sign O' The Times Tour|Sign O' The Times]], [[Lovesexy Tour|Lovesexy]] and [[Diamonds And Pearls]] tours. | + | In the video, [[Prince]] does the ''Wooden leg'' dance, created as a response to [[Morris Day]]'s song [[The Oak Tree]]. <!-- In concert, [[Prince]] introduced that dance by saying : ''"We're gonna have to chop that (Oak Tree) down this evening.
