The track reuses a guitar solo from [[Private Joy]] (recorded exactly 13 years before the [[Album: Come|Come]] album release, on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/August 16|16 August 1981]], at [[Sunset Sound]], Los Angeles, CA, USA) and vocals from [[Vanity 6]]'s unreleased track [[Vibrator]] (recorded in Summer 1983 at [[Prince]]'s [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]], Chanhassen, MN, USA). The "poem" was largely made up of lines from the Old Testament book [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_of_Songs Song of Songs] (also known as the Song of Solomon). '''Poem''' was originally included as the ninth and final track on a March 1993 configuration of [[Album: Come|Come]]. It was kept for inclusion on the [[Album: Come|Come]] album as the first track on a [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_11|11 March 1994]] configuration. For the final configuration of the album, the track was renamed '''Orgasm''' and portions of the "poem" were distributed as opening segments of other tracks; [[Pheromone]], [[Race]], [[Dark]] and [[Letitgo]] include segments in their opening seconds. |
