EK: Before going on to the songs I just want to comment on Part 1 & the comparisons we both drew between ATWIAD & Parade

EK: A few years ago @klopgrrr pointed out to me how the brass and the woodwinds sections are in a constant dialogue. Once you hear that you cannot unhear it.
Fascinating!

💀This is Prince’s “new funk” except (as suggested in Part 1) it wasn’t.
1 of my faves, it clocks in at just under 2:20 in length but it packs so much punch that it belies its length.
EK: This is the 1st (& probably only) time he uses a steel drum in a song.
But you can listen to CF sessions here:

Prince reused some of the melody of this track on the Q of U.
💀Signalling Eric Leeds first appearance on a Prince album (he previously appeared on Kiss B side 💜 or $) & featuring the Revolution on the first of 3 full band songs on this album.
The music video is somewhat misleading as Wendy is not playing on the track.
There was an impact too upon fellow artists who emulated the skinny motherfucker’s falsetto & the sonic acoustic arrangement of the track.
The title is a so called portmanteau based on the lyrics of the chorus.
The idiom ‘You need […] like you need a hole in your head’ signifies that the subject is unnecessary or damaging.
Next is Part 3 which will find @EdgarKruize (EK) going solo & discussing the possible track list to a Parade Super Deluxe.
