Although official writing credit is split between [[Prince]] (music), [[Carmen Electra]] (lyrics) and Karen "K-Dean" Cover (rap), the track was originally recorded by [[Prince]] in 1989, before he began working with [[Carmen Electra|Electra]]. |
− | + | Basic tracking took place in January 1989 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], and the song was initially intended for an ultimately abandonned [[Album: Anna Fantastic (1990)|project]] with [[Anna Fantastic]]. In 2014, [[Anna Fantastic]] posted a [https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=574793095945212&set=vb.130313623726497&type=2&theater video] on her Facebook page of a rehearsal for a performance video of the song, dated [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/February 14|14 February 1989]], and in 2018 a more complete version on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=OEc5rtkMnf4 YouTube], including two phone calls from [[Prince]] at the beginning and end, with him asking her to do a dance routine to it and him saying he called Warner Bros. in The Netherlands and they were okay to release it. | |
+ | The girls that appear with [[Anna Fantastic]] in the video are her friends Tamara Chloé and Eliza Esther. It is assumed that nothing more came off it after this 'routine' video. | ||
− | When work on [[Carmen Electra]] | + | When work on [[Carmen Electra]]’s album began, this track was pulled from the vault as the starting point for the album. Further work was done on the track in March 1991, at [http://www.larrabeestudios.com/ Larrabee Sound Studios] in North Hollywood, California when [[Carmen Electra]]’s vocals were added (during the same set of sessions as updated versions of [[Elephant Box]], [[Slappy Dappy]], [[Jadestone]], [[Whispering Dandelions]] and [[Crystal City Cry]], and recording [[Fun]], [[Carmen On Top]] and [[Uh Huh]]). |
It was included as the eighth track on a [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_15|15 June 1992]] configuration of the album, then titled [[Album: Carmen Electra|On Top]] (with the artist credit "[[Carmen Electra|Carmen]]"). A "Dance Remix" of the track was also planned for inclusion as the third and final track on a planned single of [[Single: Fun|Fun]], in 1991 (also with the artist credit "[[Carmen Electra|Carmen]]"). | It was included as the eighth track on a [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_15|15 June 1992]] configuration of the album, then titled [[Album: Carmen Electra|On Top]] (with the artist credit "[[Carmen Electra|Carmen]]").
