Bite The Beat is the seventh track on Vanity 6's first and only album Vanity 6, and, in Fall, 1982, Bite The Beat was released as the album's second single. In 1983, it was also included on the 12" single of Drive Me Wild, the album's fourth and final single. Prince wrote the lyrics, which were credited to Brenda Bennett, while the music was written by Jesse Johnson (his first published work).

While specific recording dates are unknown, initial tracking took place in late March 1982 at Prince's Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, MN, USA (in the same sessions that produced Nasty Girland He's So Dull).(PrinceVault)

Bite the beat, it tastes so good
Bite it till U're satisfied
Ain't nothin' wrong with dancin' all night long
U can still be dignified

When I first saw your teeth
I knew U were the only one qualified
2 bite the beat, don't try and call your mother
Just bite it till U're satisfied

U can do it, bite the beat (Bite the beat)
Come on honey, bite the beat (Bite the beat)

Don't worry, U'll still be dignified
It tastes like caviar

When I first saw your teeth
I knew U were the only one qualified
2 bite the beat, don't try and call your mother
Just bite it till U're satisfied

U can do it, bite the beat (Bite the beat)
Come on honey, bite the beat (Bite the beat)

Bite the beat, it'll do U no harm
Unless U choke on a guitar string
Peanut butter, false alarm
I wanna dance, I don't wanna sing ... now check it

Don't be shy, bite the beat
Don't try and call your mother (Bite the beat)
Bite the beat of the star
Bite the beat, it's so so yummy (Bite the beat)
It's tastes like caviar
Bite it

That's right, there'll be no more wet dreams 4 Brenda
At least not 2 night
Come on, bite it ... ha ha ha ha
(Bite the beat) {x4}
Bite it

{laugher}
God, I wasn't ready

I'm confused about this.Was "Bite The Beat" really the second single? I always thought that "He's So Dull" was the first single,followed by "Nasty Girl" as the second single.Then,Drive Me Wild" was the third single,right?

In any case,releasing "Bite The Beat" as a single seemed like a crazy move.There was no way that radio was gonna play it
