The song was included as the ninth track on the album in early September 1989, as planned for release in November 1989. The album was abandoned when [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] wanted to involve the other original members of [[The Time]], but many of the tracks were saved for [[Album: Pandemonium|Pandemonium]] and [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]]. It was included as the third track on a late 1989 configuration of [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]], where it stayed on the 1990 configuration and on the final release. |
The song contains an uncredited sample of "Squib Cakes" by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Power Tower Of Power] (written by Chester Thompson, from their 1974 album [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_to_Oakland Back To Oakland]), which was later also sampled on [[Sleep Around]]; [[Prince]] sampled a brief portion of drums from that track and looped it to create the drum backing. | The song contains an uncredited sample of "Squib Cakes" by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Power Tower Of Power] (written by Chester Thompson, from their 1974 album [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_to_Oakland Back To Oakland]), which was later also sampled on [[Sleep Around]]; [[Prince]] sampled a brief portion of drums from that track and looped it to create the drum backing. | ||
