'''Schoolyard''' was the title track of what later became the [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] album. It was included as the fifth track on a November 1990, and as the third track on a December 1990, configuration before being discarded on later configurations once further songs were recorded for the album. |
The song includes a narrative about a 16-year-old boy seducing a 14-year-old girl. The lyrics mention [[Squib Cakes]] by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Power Tower Of Power] (written by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_Thompson Chester Thompson], from their 1974 album [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_to_Oakland Back To Oakland]), which was sampled on both [[Release It]] (recorded prior to this track) and [[Sleep Around]] (recorded later). Although no official artist credit has been given to the track, its inclusion on (what became) [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] would have resulted in this track being credited to [[Prince and the New Power Generation]], which is how it is listed here. The track remains unreleased. | The song includes a narrative about a 16-year-old boy seducing a 14-year-old girl.
