@juliafun01 This is a metaphor of the children's story when an evil witch transforms the prince into a frog. Hence the line in the song "this is royal blood running thru my skin."
So, once the princess kisses the frog he'll turn back into a prince, notice at the end of the video he's himself again. This would of course be "post" kiss from the aforementioned princess. Hope that helps.
I believe this is the IWerks version. IWerks had a simulator ride (two seat motion platform) that was basically a 3 axis motion ride set to this video. The ride was called Mind Blender (or something like that). Not avail as a single.
I remember this video being shown on the Chart Show on ITV back in the early 90's. How can this be off a laserdisc from the 80's when the track was released in 1993?
There a few versions of this.I've got the album version. the album version (edit), the 7" single radio edit version and the CD versions etc plus the Mindblender re-mix (edit)..............but FFS i DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS VERSION IS..........
@NineSteinAV This song didn't come out in the 80's haha 1993ish is when the album this came out on was released. I remember it well, it was on a bonus CD-rom. And Pepsi did some kind of 3D experience with this song and video to push/promote their new Pepsi Clear soda But yeah you are thinking of a CD-rom not a laser disc ;) Which in the early 90's was kind of a new thing.
@Bow1elow In the early 90s there was also Peter Gabriels Mindblender - video ride that toured the country. I vaguely remember going to it as a child - this video played and you sat in chairs that moved to the motions of the frog.
I felt like "eye" was on a toadstool.

I wish he'd do an updated video for this - the CGI is outdated. The song, especially this version, is amazing.
