The 1987 version is re-recording, done when [[Prince]] came back from the [[Sign O’ The Times Tour]] and [[Susannah Melvoin]] was out of the picture, romantically. This version is a minimalist funk/rock song, with [[Prince]]’s vocals accompanied only by a drum machine beat. The lyrics now include the line “I’ve got more holes than a golf course” which [[Prince]] later re-used in the party coda to [[The Ball]] (later heard in the intro to both [[Joy In Repetition]] and [[Eye No]]). The line ”pretty little baby, you’re so glam, every time I see you I wanna slam” likely later inspired [[Glam Slam]]. While equally possesive, this new version seems to be attributed to a woman [[Prince]] expresses his desire (but not respect) to make his, while the previous one focussed on a woman and relationship he wants to keep. | The 1987 version is re-recording, done when [[Prince]] came back from the [[Sign O’ The Times Tour]] and [[Susannah Melvoin]] was out of the picture, romantically.
