An unreleased version contains a rap by [[Cat]] which was held over (and adapted) from [[Cindy C.]] when [[Album: The Black Album|''“The Black Album”'']] was aborted.

Silk]’s 1985 track [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_Is_the_Key_(Steve_%22Silk%22_Hurley_song) Music Is The Key], although [[Prince]] was unaware of this at the time, and he removed it when he found out. | |
