The song contains a robotic-sounding countdown that was later used on [[Live 4 Love]] (and was used as an intro to [[Controversy]] on the [[Lovesexy Tour]] a week after '''We Got The Power''' was recorded). It was included on a [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October 27|27 October 1988]], configuration of [[Album: Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic|Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic]], but was not included on the late 1988 / early 1989 configuration. It was briefly considered for use on the [[Album: Batman|Batman]] album, and was used in the background of an early unreleased trailer for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_(1989_film) Batman] movie. The chant of "hey, we got the power, oh, we got the soul, hey we got the sho'nuff get off to make the devil go go" was used in [[Batdance]]. Similarly, the chant "hey, we got the power, oh, we got the soul" was used in [[Carmen Electra]]'s [[Power From Above]]. The track mentions some of [[Prince]]'s band members from the time; "Junior" ([[Levi Seacer, Jr.]]) and "Doctor" ([[Dr. Fink]]), and mentions "an angel" for a drummer ([[Sheila E.]]'s name in the original [[Film: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]] movie script was "Angel"), which may be a reason the track wasn't used once the group disbanded. Additionally, [[Prince]] refers to the unreleased track [[The Grand Progression]] by asking "is the progression grand?" (he refers to [[The Grand Progression]] similarly in [[F.U.N.K.]]). The track remains unreleased. |
