The track is essentially a solo recording by [[Prince]], with [[Tony M.]] adding a rap, and a sampled moan by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Basinger Kim Basinger] (uncredited), which was later reused in [[Peach]]. It contains brief repeated samples of [[I Wanna Be Your Lover]], [[Partyup]] and [[Controversy]] before [[Prince]]'s vocals begin. |

It was kept as the second track (first song) on a late Summer configuration, before many of the album's [[Symbol segues|segues]] were removed for release, making '''My Name Is Prince''' the opening track. Remixes by outside producers were made in Summer, 1992, for use on the [[Single: My Name Is Prince|My Name Is Prince]] maxi-single. |
In 1993, [[Prince]] gave the creators of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons The Simpsons] TV show permission to use the backing track to create the track '''My Name Is Bart''', with new lyrics and lead vocals delivered by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_Simpson Bart Simpson] (played by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Cartwright Nancy Cartwright]), for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Yellow_Album The Yellow Album]. The album was delayed from 1993 to 1999, and [[Prince]] withdrew the track during the delay. Although the new track had no direct input by [[Prince]], he was involved in the creation of the track, so it is included here. | In 1993, [[Prince]] gave the creators of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons The Simpsons] TV show permission to use the backing track to create the track '''My Name Is Bart''', with new lyrics and lead vocals delivered by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_Simpson Bart Simpson] (played by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Cartwright Nancy Cartwright]), for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Yellow_Album The Yellow Album].
