The song's semi-autobiographical lyrics caused some confusion after [[Prince]] changed his name to [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] eight months after the album's release.

[[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] commented regularly on the [[Act II]] tour (which began shortly after the name change), following the main set consisting of "[[Prince]]" songs, making comments such as "my name ain't [[Prince]]; and it damn well ain't Victor."<br> | The song's semi-autobiographical lyrics caused some confusion after [[Prince]] changed his name to [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] eight months after the album's release.
