|trivia = In the early stages of work on the album, both the album and the band were known as '''The Hookers'''. No configuration of the album '''The Hookers''' is known, but tracks intended for the project included [[Drive Me Wild]], [[Make-Up]], [[Wet Dream]], [[I Need A Man]], [[Jealous Girl]] and [[Pizza]]. [[Prince]] put the project on hold in late 1981 as he embarked on the [[Controversy Tour]]. [[I Need A Man]], [[Jealous Girl]] and [[Pizza]] were removed from the project as he restarted the project and it evolved into '''Vanity 6'''. [[Gym Class]] and [[Money Don’t Grow On Trees]] may have also been intended for '''The Hookers''', but this is unconfirmed. | |trivia = In the early stages of work on the album, both the album and the band were known as '''The Hookers'''.
