− | |introduction = '''Work That Fat''' was recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 12|12 January 1991]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. The comical song re-uses backing music from [[Martika’s Kitchen]] (recorded the day before, [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 11|11 January 1991]]). Most likely it was recorded around the same time. [[Prince]] uses a pitched-down voice throughout the track (not dissimilar to that used on [[Bob George]]), and the narrator describes a date with a fat girl who eats everything in sight in the narrator’s apartment (similar to the [[Album: Exodus|Exodus]] album [[Exodus_Segues#Segue_.23_4|segue commonly known as the "Mashed Potato Girl" segue]]). | + | |introduction = '''Work That Fat''' was recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 12|12 January 1991]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

| Regardless of the disastrous date, the narrator likes his women “fat ‘n’ proud, cause when they sit down they sit all around, the whole house, sidewalk and everything else.” It is not known if, but seems unlikely that the song was intended for [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] or any other project. Given the distorted vocals and the comical nature of the song, it was probably thought of as a side project of some sort. | | Regardless of the disastrous date, the narrator likes his women “fat ‘n’ proud, cause when they sit down they sit all around, the whole house, sidewalk and everything else.” It is not known if, but seems unlikely that the song was intended for [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] or any other project.
