The song is even quirkier when you listen to the lyrics. What man sits at home knitting a coat for his girlfriend? Is the situation even real? or is the coat just a big metaphor for a vagina? LOL. What's up with the role reversal in this song?

I love that song too, especially the many background voices like in the middle of the song when you can hear Prince saying something like "shabulabula shabop owwwh"...

well if someone can spell it correctlly that's will be fun

Just talking about it at work today with a coworker. One of my all time favs!

I love this song also. Great song, although the actual thought of making someone a coat and moreover out of pink cashmere is wierd. Obviously, he meant that shit, so I could roll with it. I really really felt that he should have included it in his acoustic segment of his last tour. It would have been perfect. It would have also been ok in his ONA piano solos segment also. Maybe not as great there, but it still would have worked.

actually, that wasn't his doing. Shortly after the symbol album, he wanted to release a 4 track EP with Pink Cashmere, Peach, Pope, and Nothing Compares 2 U - Warners balked and insisted on releasing them on a greatest hits set instead.

That disagreement started the path towards the whole Slave thing.

According to Prince lore, he really did have a coat of pink cashmere made for Anna "Fantastic" Garcia--for her birthday or something. I know I read some scanned interview that she did about how he flew here over to the US for her 18th birthday and had all these clothes made for her. I looked in the gallery for it, but couldn't find it. (Maybe I read it at HQ?) Can anyone else find it?

i have a very short live acoustic version on my hard drive i listen to every blue moon--1:38 of pure bliss

I've never seen a picture of this Anna Fantastic. Is there a picture of her that someone can post? She's the most mysterious of all Prince's women. Maybe it was the age.

Awesome track. But I'm surprised it was recorded in '88 because it always sounded so 90's to me. Definitely helped to make Girl 6 a worthwhile compilation.

Thanks for the pictures. Very much worthy of a pink cashmere anything.
