What is this song?

I was listening to some old stuff I put together back a few years ago of Prince, and I came across this song.
It was very smooth, with a nice rythim, very soulful, with a starting slowy and building.

I can't remember all of the lyrics but I remember the last part.
It goes something like this:

There's Joy in Repition
There's Joy in Repition
There's Joy in Repition
There's Joy in Repition
There's Joy in Repition
Joy in Repition, Joy in Repition,
There's Joy in Repition

What song is this and what album did it come from?

The song is Joy in Repetition, and it's from the Graffiti Bridge Soundtrack. It can also be found on the One Nite Alone Box Set CDs

It was recorded in the early part of 1987 and was set to appear on the now classic album Just Enough to Turn You On. However, Sony records refused to allow Prince to make another double album after the disasterous Sign o' the Times so Prince had to trim some tracks from the final cut. The song is called One Man Dan and ended up on the cutting room floor along side other classic tracks like Fish Soup Sunday and Sex me Like a Pecker.

Several years later Prince started to play these tracks during his infamous after party set lists. The most noteable was of course the Wembly Stadium after show in 1993 entitled Intimate and Small. He introduced the song as One Man Dan One Man Dan One Man Dam One Man Dan, obviously cryptically refering to repetition.

He created the unique sound by forcefeeding the an harmonica through a compressor and adding a certain amount of distortion. This is where the guitar sounding solos come from.

One Man Dan One Man Dan One Man Dam One Man Dan, or just One Man Dan to give its short name can now be found on the much sort after bootleg called One Man Dan One Man Dan One Man Dam One Man Dan and His One Man Band.

I hope this clears things up a little.

Incidently, the album Just Enough to Turn You on went multi-platinum which vindicated Sony's insistence that it was kept as a single disc. It is rumoured that the second disc, the outakes, were later released in 1997 as part of the Rabbit project. And we all know what happened to that. Mysteriously however, One Man Dan never made the cut.

Ahh, memories just came back! Those good ol' days when he was wearin' those white-coloured Rastacurls and the yellow boxershorts with Bunnys on it. And those ernormous nipple-piercings. Memorable!
