However, "Vagina" was the name [[Prince]] suggested [[Vanity|Denise Matthews]] would go by when she joined the band. Allegedly she dismissed the moniker and agreed to [[Vanity]] instead, at which point the project was titled [[Album: Vanity 6|Vanity 6]]. |

So even when a slightly different mix of this track might exist, the now released version is not considered a true alternate mix of the track. |
