+ | *A drum sample used in some of the remixes of the song ('''Staxowax''', '''Flutestramental''', '''Sexy Staxophone And Guitar''' and the 10-minute version) is originally from ''You’ll Like It Too'' by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funkadelic Funkadelic] (from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connections_%26_Disconnections Connections & Disconnections], 1980). That sample also appears on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Harris_(musician) Simon Harris]’ compilation "Beats, Breaks & Scratches Volume 1" as ''Funky Roll'' (released in 1987). [[Prince]] likely took it from there as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Harris_(musician) Simon Harris]’ ''Beats, Breaks & Scratches'' compilations were heavily used by him and his associates in the early nineties on various songs and remixes. The same ''Funky Loop'' sample also appears on [[Color]] and [[Jam Of The Year]]. | ||
