Cloreen Bacon Skin

Something very strange: I heard a version of Cloreen Bacon Skin which begins differently than the official version (talk about "headphones" ). Anyone has an idea?

Not to be funny asma, but I hate the song

i love this song

asma - how is it different? Cos, seeing as this was just an improvised jam for that moment, I'd be amazed if there is a "version" floating around!

If i never heard this track again it wouldn't bother me, what a waste of 15 minutes.

I don't mind the song, I don't love it...This song is interesting...It is a little long though.

I always enjoy listening to it...agree that's more of a jam than a song, but either way just funky

I like it

Ugh.....its not a "song", its a jam in the studio, not even a rehearsal.....an improvised, free-flowing exercise to keep the funk flowing. It was only included on Crystal Ball to give those that might be interested a bit of insight in to how things go down in the studio with Prince.....so, you really can't judge this as a song!

You're probably speaking of the rehearsal version with Morris and Prince playin around, laughin and makin jokes.

Biggest waste of space on a Prince disc ever. I'd rather listen to Jughead for 15 minutes.

ok..... first of all, there is only one version, and it has the 'motherfucker dont even have headphones on' bit in it... only one version


to the person who said 'you must have a rehearsal version' -- you're an idiot, this IS a rehearsal, there is only one version of it... because it's not a song


and for all the other people ignoring the topic of the thread and just stating their personal opinion of the song, also idiots

Ok, an off topic question for bass players (ok, kidding, it is on topic)...how do you think Prince is playing the ghost notes? Is he muting the strings with his palm? I used to think he was thumping the bass to get that sound but now it sounds to me more like he's strumming the ghost notes with his thumb.

P.S. I love the song. Call me what you like.

That track and Sexual Suicide were the most played tracks off that album. One friend of mine would not stop repeating it in his car (off of my cd!)

I think it was exactly what I needed to hear from Prince at the time. Genius move to put it on there, raw, funny, funky, and unexpected.

I've just heard this song for the first time. I've read here that it was intended to be a jam session, but what the ?????

Who's the character in the song (the old guy)?
And why is he calling his wife bacon skin--what's that about?
And is this some sort of parody of James Brown?

Please help me with this one, thanks.

due to the synth horns

cloreen bacon skin gets boring with its lack of color.
