− | |introduction = '''Wonderful Day''' | + | |introduction = '''Wonderful Day''' (previously known as '''It’s A Wonderful Day''') is a song recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 30|30 January 1986]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California. The title was likely inspired by a quote from a scene that was cut from [[Film: Under The Cherry Moon| Under The Cherry Moon]], where [[Prince]] says 'It’s a Wonderful Day' to a Venus de Milo statue. He was working on scoring the scene in the days prior to this session. |
The song was initially included as the third track on the late April 1986 configuration of [[Album: Dream Factory|Dream Factory]], and was kept as the third track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 3|3 June 1986]] configuration, but was replaced by [[Train]] on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 18|18 July 1986]] configuration. Engineer [[Susan Rogers]] has stated that [[Prince]] may have always planned on replacing the track before release, and used it as a placeholder to find a track with a similar feel. | The song was initially included as the third track on the late April 1986 configuration of [[Album: Dream Factory|Dream Factory]], and was kept as the third track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 3|3 June 1986]] configuration, but was replaced by [[Train]] on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 18|18 July 1986]] configuration.
