| |introduction = '''Sad Puppet Dance''' is a song by [[Ingrid Chavez]], recorded with an improvised musical backing by [[Prince]] in mid-December 1987, at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA (shortly after cancelling the release of [[Album: The Black Album|''"The Black Album"'']], during the same set of sessions as [[Heaven Must Be Near]], [[Crystal City Cry]], [[Wintersong]], [[Whispering Dandelions]], [[Slappy Dappy]], [[Candle Dance]], [[Elephant Box]], [[Touch Of Love]], [[Blue Boy]], [[Jadestone]], [[Standing In The Rain]] and [[Cross The Line]]). [[Prince]]'s backing consisted of sound effects, identical to the synths in the beginning of [[File:Eye88.png|link=Eye No]][[Eye No| No]] (recorded a few days before, on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 11|11 December 1987]]), and a synth bass tone. [[Levi Seacer, Jr.]] recorded a new musical backing for the track in early April 1991, at [[Larrabee Sound]], Los Angeles, CA, USA (along with ''Spiritual Storm''). While the 1991 version of '''Sad Puppet Dance''' was released as the tenth track on [[Ingrid Chavez]]'s first album [[Album: May 19 1992|May 19 1992]], the released version contains no input by [[Prince]], and this listing includes details only of the version with input by [[Prince]], which remains unreleased. | | |introduction = '''Sad Puppet Dance''' is a song by [[Ingrid Chavez]], recorded with an improvised musical backing by [[Prince]] in mid-December 1987, at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA (shortly after cancelling the release of [[Album: The Black Album|''"The Black Album"'']], during the same set of sessions as [[Heaven Must Be Near]], [[Crystal City Cry]], [[Wintersong]], [[Whispering Dandelions]], [[Slappy Dappy]], [[Candle Dance]], [[Elephant Box]], [[Touch Of Love]], [[Blue Boy]], [[Jadestone]], [[Standing In The Rain]] and [[Cross The Line]]).
