A question about the Alternate "Betcha By Golly Wow!" video

Ok... the primary video that has been shown featured periodic scenes which showed Mayte in a Doctor's office. This alluded to her pregnancy in my mind. Prince however went out of his way to create an alternate version of the video which featured him alone and didn't include any hints of Mayte or her pregnancy. Maybe I'm reading too much into this but given what happened later with Mayte's pregnancy, was the creation of the alternate version of the video a odd coincidence or is there more to this story? eek

I haven't seen an alternate video of. Everytime I see the video, It has the Mayte scenes.

It appears that it was the version Prince chose to use in Europe (it was played on Britain's "Top of the Pops".) The video features Prince singing to the camera for the full duration of the clip.

I had never seen it before either until I caught both clips (version #1 and #2) on volume 6 of the "Royal Vision" collection.


And the mystery deepens hmmm
