Vagina is a track recorded circa November 1981, at Prince's Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota. With only a vocal and guitar and no drums other than Prince's vocal rhythm cues, the sngs has an unfinished feel to it. The track was long thought to have been recorded for possible use on The Hookers album, that later became Vanity 6's album Vanity 6, but given its ambiguous lyrics it seems unlikely, this was actually the case. However, "Vagina" was the name Prince suggested Denise Matthews would go by when she joined the band.
