The track was placed as the penultimate track on the third disc of the triple-album [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]], which was eventually pared down and became [[Album: Sign O' The Times|Sign O' The Times]], where it remained the penultimate track of the album. A live version was also included in the concert movie [[Film: Sign O' The Times|Sign O' The Times]]. |

Significant overdubs, including [[Sheila E.]]'s "transmississippirap" (a partial reading of Edward Lear's "The Table And The Chair" poem, labeled the "transmississippirap" because [[Prince]] recorded [[Sheila E.]] reading it over the phone from the other side of the Mississippi river), took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 22|22 November 1986]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California during [[Susannah Melvoin]]'s final recording session with [[Prince]] (on the same day as [[Play In The Sunshine]]), just eight days before completion of the [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]] album. Although recorded with the full [[Prince and the Revolution|Revolution]] band, the song is credited only to [[Prince]]. It was included as the sixth track on the third and final disc of the [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]] album, and was kept for inclusion as the album developed into [[Album: Sign O' The Times|Sign O' The Times]]. |
