| |introduction = '''Lisa''' is an unreleased track recorded in Summer 1980 at [[Prince]]’s [[North Arm Drive Home Studio]] in Orono, Minnesota. It was filed for copyright at the Library of Congress on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/August_4|4 August 1980]]. It is not known if the track was intended for any particular project, although its distinct synth sound and monotonous, hypnotic feel, probably led to [[Prince]] discarding it from any consideration for the [[Album: Dirty Mind|Dirty Mind]] album. An edited version also exists, potentially for inclusion on a single, although this is unverified.<br> | | |introduction = '''Lisa''' is an unreleased track recorded in Summer 1980 at [[Prince]]’s [[North Arm Drive Home Studio]] in Orono, Minnesota.
