Interestingly, in the storyline, '''Loose!''' follows the live performance of [[Shhh]]. After that song, Jan ([[Nona Gaye]]’s character) falls asleep. A footage on her computer screen shows her getting ready to go out. She arrives at the club at the end of the performance of '''Loose!''' and watches [[Prince]] singing the next song. At the end of '''Papa''', a message appears on Jan’s computer screen saying "I know who you are", waking her up. This indicates that footage of [[Nona Gaye]]’s presence in the club was not added later by edition for [[TV Film: The Beautiful Experience|The Beautiful Experience]] but was indeed also a part of the aborted 1993 film. | ||
