− | + | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July_30|30 July 1987]], at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (the day after [[The Sex Of It]], during the same one-day session that produced [[Fifteen]], [[Ten]], [[Ten And ½]], and three instrumentals later named [[Night Owl]], [[Overnight, Every Night]] and [[Andorra]], and the day before [[Twelve]] and another instrumental later named [[Kenya]]); it is likely that the title was assigned only after the final sequence had been arranged for the album. The track opens with a sampled line of dialogue by Salvatore Corsitto as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amerigo_Bonasera Amerigo Bonasera] from the 1972 movie ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather The Godfather]'' (a movie also sampled on [[Thirteen]] and [[Sixteen]]). The song also contains a repeated (Fairlight) sample of [[Susannah Melvoin]] saying the phrase "baby doll house", first used in the track [[Baby Doll House]]. | |
