Weird. I just mentioned this in another thread.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Yes it does appear, though it only flashes up on the screen
for a second.

Just after Prince sings the first verse, he 'disappears'
behind an invisible wall (well... it's the best way I can
think of how to describe it). Now, written vertically down
this 'edge' that he walks behind are the words "Don't buy
the Black Album. I'm sorry.", but if you blink you'll miss it.

There was a thread about this a month or so ago where someone posted a still from the video when it appears, use the search function at the top right of the screen.

In the video, there are two hidden messages. For the first one after the end of the first verse ("She'll want me from my head to my feet"), there is a split second image with the hidden message "Don't buy The Black Album, I'm sorry." The second one is after Prince drives the Thunderbird; the message says "H is 4 Punks"meaning Heroin!

There's a lot more than 2 'hidden' messages...

Apart from the Black Album message, there's one for each letter of the
alphabet from A - I

Awwe...I bought the album before I saw the video and I put it away. That's okay Prince...It didn't hurt your career, it just goes into the rolodex in my mind that's labeled, "possible good will donation." cool
