Somewhere during the summer of 1982, [[Prince]] recorded an entirely new version of the track at his [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota, now titled '''Do Yourself A Favor'''. According to [[Pepé Willie]], [[Prince]], who recorded the song from memory and had not heard it for years, told him that he wanted to release it on one of his next albums. '''Do Yourself A Favor''' was not included on any known configuration of [[Album: 1999|1999]], [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], [[Album: Around The World In A Day|Around The World In A Day]] or [[Album: Parade|Parade]]. | Somewhere during the summer of 1982, [[Prince]] recorded an entirely new version of the track at his [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota, now titled '''Do Yourself A Favor'''.

[[Jesse Johnson|Johnson]]’s version misses [[Prince]]’s own lyrical contribution to the track, a humorous spoken section in his "[[Jamie Starr]]" voice, so his version is not considered to have any input by [[Prince]]. The song is credited to [[Pepé Willie]] and [[Jesse Johnson]], but Johnson’s contribution is unknown ('''If You See Me''' is credited to [[Pepé Willie]] only). |
[[Prince]]’s 1982 version of '''Do Yourself A Favor''' was released in 2019 on the ''Super Deluxe Edition'' edition of the [[Album: 1999 Deluxe|1999]] album. Oddly, the credits on [[Album: 1999 Deluxe|1999 Deluxe]] are shared by [[Pepé Willie]] and [[Jesse Johnson]], and [[Prince]]’s lyrical contribution is not acknowledged. | [[Prince]]’s 1982 version of '''Do Yourself A Favor''' was released in 2019 on the ''Super Deluxe Edition'' edition of the [[Album: 1999 Deluxe|1999]] album.
