Think the story goes that Billy Sparx walked into the studio with..... some new sunglasses and it gave P an immediate idea to create a jam! | |

I know of Billy's Sun glasses from way back in 83. I am little confused did he play it recently live? or something? Or R U referring back to the single from way back in the day? | |

It's from 1984. Strange Relationship itself originates from 1982. | |

Ohhhh man, I love this song! Not so much the very beginning of it, but when the song changes up, right before Prince starts singing.   This song is awesome!!RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

it's 51 minutes long!?  i have a boot in which there's approx 8 minutes of the jam. the guitar solo is as incredible as any i've heard and the song is one of my favs. [Snip: DON'T - BananaCologne] | |

It's a long jam with Prince noodling on the guitar for three quarters of an hour and mumbling 'Billy, where'd ya get yer glasses?.... They're the funkiest glasses I ever seen', over and over, topped off by a de-constructed run of Strange Relationship'. And that's why we love it so.  [Edited 11/15/06 1:51am] | |
