| − | + | This song was long incorrectly attributed to be a straight-forward cover version of the 1976 track '''Cookie Jar''' by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy_Haskins Fuzzy Haskins] (from the 1976 album ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Whole_Nother_Thang A Whole Nother Thang]''), but (like the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parlet Parlet] cover of the song), it only re-uses the lyrics to the chorus ''I don’t know what He’ll do witcha when He getcha, Put you in his cookie jar, save you for a rainy day''. Musically the song is different and the verses also seem to be original lyrics by [[Prince]] | |

| + | [[Prince]] sent the master tape of the song to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Clinton_(musician) George Clinton] and asked for his input. Before the session began, the first minute of the recording was accidentally erased by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Clinton_(musician) Clinton]’s engineer, when the two inch tape was striped with tones (which were often recorded at the beginning of analog tapes as part of a calibration process for the tape machine). After this embarrassing incident, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Clinton_(musician) George Clinton] decided not to work on this song. It is unknown if, but unlikely that [[Prince]] re-recorded this first portion. | ||
