+ | |introduction = '''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 song has a somewhat unfinished feel to it. | ||
+ | The track was long thought to have been recorded for possible use on [[Album: The Hookers (1982)|The Hookers]] album, that later became [[Vanity 6]]’s album [[Album: Vanity 6|Vanity 6]], but given its ambiguous lyrics it seems unlikely this was actually the case. However, "Vagina" was the name [[Prince]] suggested [[Vanity|Denise Matthews]] would go by when she joined the band. Allegedly she dismissed the moniker and agreed to [[Vanity]] instead, at which point the project was titled [[Album: Vanity 6|Vanity 6]]. | ||
