Hollywood Swinging, a live cover version (from the show given on 28 April 2011 at The Forum, Inglewood, California, USA) of the song by Kool & The Gang, was released as the twenty-second track on the Blu-Ray included on the Deluxe Edition of Welcome 2 America. No audio-only version of this performance has been released.

Hollywood Swinging, written by Robert "Kool" Bell, Ronald Bell, George M. Brown, Robert "Spikes" Mickens, Claydes Charles Smith, Dennis R. Thomas and Richard A. Westfield is from Kool & The Gang’s 1973 album Wild & Peaceful and was released as a single the following year.

The signature horn intro of the song is played as a short trombone solo by Greg Boyer in the NPG Horns coda as part of Take Me With U on the Musicology Tour. For the 21 Nite Stand run of the Welcome 2 America Tour in Inglewood, California the song was performed regularly as 'Inglewood Swinging' with an adapted verse by Prince.
