The comical song uses backing music from [[Martika’s Kitchen]], and was recorded around the same time. [[Prince]] uses a slowed-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]]). |
Regardless of the disastrous date, the narrator likes his women "fat 'n' proud, cause when they sit down they sit all around, the whole house, sidewalk and everything else." 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]]". | Regardless of the disastrous date, the narrator likes his women "fat 'n' proud, cause when they sit down they sit all around, the whole house, sidewalk and everything else."
