| |introduction = '''Playtime''' is an unreleased song initially recorded in the first half of 1995. This version was listed on a configuration for a [[Album: Playtime By Versace|Playtime By Versace]] project in 1995. It is unclear who was to sing lead on this version. Lyrics of a version with [[Prince]] singing lead include the line "A girl like me, when I am in the mood / You gotta be, my dirty dude". indicating it was always meant to be sung by a female. It was subsequently performed live in 1997 and 1998 (beginning [[11_August 1997-am|11 August 1997 (a.m.): Roxy, Houston, TX, USA]]), with [[Marva King]] on lead vocals. She has confirmed when performing that the track was written by [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]). A studio version with her singing lead was recorded in 1997 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. It seems likely the song with [[Marva King]] singing lead was intended for an [[Album: Marva King (1998)|album or project]] he was doing with her, for which [[Hotel Blues]], recorded with her around the same time, was also intended. The track remains unreleased. | | |introduction = '''Playtime''' is an unreleased song initially recorded in the first half of 1995.
