In an August 2006 [http://www.moderndrummer.com/site/2006/08/michael-bland-2/#.VD7L3IvF_HI interview], [[Michael B.]] said they recorded eleven or twelve tracks that night. On a different occasion he later indicated that this was the last recording session they did with [[Prince]] for a while after that. Much like [[Ripopgodazippa]], [[3121]] was based around a bass line and a beat created by [[Sonny T.]] and [[Michael B.]] during that session, although they are uncredited. |
[[Prince]] allegedly wrote the song inspired by the 3121 address of the house, in the week he hired it, so it is likely an early version of the song was recorded in October 2004. | [[Prince]] allegedly wrote the song inspired by the 3121 address of the house, in the week he hired it, so it is likely an early version of the song was recorded in October 2004. | ||
