Drawers Burnin’ is an unreleased song performed live on 7 June 1985, Prom Center, St. Paul, MN, USA (a one-off concert to celebrate Prince’s 27th birthday), performed as part of a lengthy medley which also included Irresistible Bitch, Possessed, The Bird and Holly Rock.

The song bears striking similarities with Fleetwood Mac’s World Turning from the band’s 1975 Fleetwood Mac album and seems to be Prince’s playfully mocking cover of the song, with perhaps improvised lyrics that include criticisms of the side effects of fame, including people trying to take Prince’s picture.

Drawers Burnin’ was recorded as a 3-minute jam on 30 May 1985 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California (on the same day as For Love) but not as a finished song. The track is not known to have been performed live at any other time.
