− | + | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 11|7]] or [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 11|11 September 1990]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same session as [[Fancy Dancer]], [[Jughead]], [[The Flow]] and a reworked version of [[Something Funky (This House Comes)]]) within hours of returning to the USA from the [[Nude Tour]] in Japan. The track was included as the ninth track on a December 1990, configuration of the [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] album, and was included as the seventh track on a [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 8|8 May 1991]] configuration. Also in May 1991, it was included as the first track on an acetate of a [[Single:_Gett_Off#May.2C_1991.2C_configuration|Gett Off]] EP, which was aborted soon after compilation. [[Horny Pony]] was replaced on the [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] album by [[Gett Off]] in June 1991, but the track is still mentioned in the rap portion of [[Push]] (along with other songs on the album), and is printed on the corresponding tracklist on the packaging's back cover (quoted from [[Push]]). | |
