| The track is an ode to the battery-operated sex toy. The narrator ([[Vanity]]) sings about her vibrator, before the song transforms when the batteries run out in her toy; she goes to a store where she meets a shocked store clerk, played by [[Jill Jones]], who offers to "take it downstairs" to install the new batteries. The narrator leaves, instead taking it to a different store, and meeting a different clerk (played by [[Prince]] in his [[Jamie Starr]] voice), who gives her the batteries and rushes her out of the store. She then takes her toy home, and the song ends with her moans and her eventual climax. | | The track is an ode to the battery-operated sex toy.

| [[Prince]] gave the song to [[Eric Leeds]] in July 1989 (along with [[You’re All I Want]], [[My Summertime Thang]], [[Pickle]], [[U Should Be Mine]], [[Wet Dream Cousin]], [[The Max-2|The Max]] and [[XYZ]]) when considering songs for a new [[Madhouse]] album (later called [[Album:_Times_Squared#Quotations_and_trivia|26]], which later evolved into [[Eric Leeds]]' solo album [[Album: Times Squared|Times Squared]]), presumably to be used as an instrumental; it is not believed that [[Eric Leeds|Leeds]] worked on the track, however. | | [[Prince]] gave the song to [[Eric Leeds]] in July 1989 (along with [[Evolsidog]], [[You’re All I Want]], [[My Summertime Thang]], [[Pickle]], [[U Should Be Mine]], [[Wet Dream Cousin]], [[The Max-2|The Max]] and [[XYZ]]) when considering songs for a new [[Madhouse]] album (later called [[Album:_Times_Squared#Quotations_and_trivia|26]], which later evolved into [[Eric Leeds]]’ solo album [[Album: Times Squared|Times Squared]]), presumably to be used as an instrumental; it is not believed that [[Eric Leeds|Leeds]] worked on the track, however. |
| [[Vanity]]’s moans from the song have been sampled on a few different tracks. They were sampled at the beginning of [[Seven]] (as more of a segue between [[Six]] and [[Seven]]), before then also being sampled on [[The Dopamine Rush|24 (Orgasm)]], originally included as part of [[The Dopamine Rush|21-24 (The Dopamine Rush Suite)]] before the section it was a part of was edited out for the track’s release as [[The Dopamine Rush]]. The moans were included also on [[Orgasm]] (released in complete form as [[Orgasm|Poem]]). | | [[Vanity]]’s moans from the song have been sampled on a few different tracks.
