In 2015, an acoustic version of the track, with some lyrical changes and renamed '''Oui Can Luv''', was included as the sixth track on the acoustic album [[Album: Oui Can Luv|Oui Can Luv]] by [[Andy Allo]] featuring [[Prince]] on acoustic guitar. |
Initial tracking for [[Prince]]'s original solo version took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 31|31 December, 1983]] at [[Sunset Sound]], Hollywood, CA, USA, as '''We Can Fuck''' (the day after [[Erotic City]] and [[She's Always In My Hair]]), with additional work the following day, [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 1|1 January, 1984]]. [[Prince]] later toned down the title and lyrics of the song, and re-recorded the track on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 17|17 June, 1986]] at the [[Crosstown Circle Warehouse]], Eden Prairie, MN, USA (in sequence after [[Data Bank]] and [[Can't Stop This Feeling I Got]], the day before recording [[Girl O' My Dreams]]). The 1983 recording was returned to and updated in 1989 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA, and this updated version, without [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Clinton_(musician) George Clinton] on vocals, was included as the sixth track on a 1989 configuration of [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Clinton_(musician) George Clinton] added vocal overdubs in late 1989-1990, also at [[Paisley Park Studios]], and the final version was included as the seventh track on a 1990 configuration of [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]], where it remained for release. | Initial tracking for [[Prince]]'s original solo version took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 31|31 December, 1983]] at [[Sunset Sound]], Hollywood, CA, USA, as '''We Can Fuck''' (the day after [[Erotic City]] and [[She's Always In My Hair]]), with additional work the following day, [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 1|1 January, 1984]].
