The comical song uses backing music from [[Martika’s Kitchen]], and was recorded around the same time. [[Prince]] uses a pitched-down voice throughout the track (not dissimilar to that used on [[Bob George]]), and the narrator describes a date with a fat girl who eats everything in sight in the narrator’s apartment (similar to the [[Album: Exodus|Exodus]] album [[Exodus_Segues#Segue_.23_4|segue commonly known as the "Mashed Potato Girl" segue]]). | |introduction = '''Work That Fat''' (or '''Martika Jam Groove''' as listed on a tape photographed in [[Prince]]’s vault) is an unreleased song recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/February 17|17 February 1991]], at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

It is not known if the song was intended for his next album [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] or any other project, although given the distorted vocals and the comical nature of the song, it was probably thought of as a side project of some sort, and if it had been released, it may not have received the artist credit "[[Prince]]". |
