The song was written specifically for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_L._Brooks James L. Brooks] movie [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'll_Do_Anything I'll Do Anything]. The track was re-recorded by actor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Brooks Albert Brooks] with unknown musicians, and was included in a rough cut of the movie. This version was included as the fourth track on a planned [[Album: I'll Do Anything|I'll Do Anything]] album. While [[Prince]] was not directly involved in this version, it is included in the listing here as his own version was intended as a demo for the soundtrack version. When preview audience reactions to the music were overwhelmingly negative, all production numbers from the film were cut, and the album was abandoned. No further changes were made to [[Prince]]'s original version before its release. <br> |
