Which songs sound like they belong on a different album?

Simple example:

The song Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic sounds like it could have been on the Batman album (and yes, I know the history...)

What other songs could have belonged on other albums? (Maybe there should be a separate thread for songs that should not have been on ANY album.)

TRON

He seems to have songs that hint at his next step a lot.

Sexuality sounds like it could be on 1999
Free sounds like it could be on Purple Rain
Take Me With U sounds like it could be on ATWIAD
Condition of the Heart sounds like it could be on Parade
When 2 R In Love sounds like Lovesexy so it ended up on there too

"When 2 R In Love" definitely does not sound like it belongs on The Black Album, but fits well on Lovesexy -- I agree.

Everything on Graffiti Bridge sounds out of place except:
"Elephants & Flowers"
"The Question of U"
"We Can Funk"
"Joy In Repitition"
"Tick Tick Bang" (yeah, I said it!)
and the 12" version of "Theives In The Temple" would have been better suited for a Prince-ONLY album.

Prince:
"Sexy Dancer" sounds like it might have fit well on Dirty Mind. It's such a hot little Funk dance tune that sounds out of the flow of the rest of that album.

ATWIAD:
"Tamborine" sounds out of the scope of this album.
"America," ditto.
"Pop Life" belongs ... somewhere else.
"The Ladder"...somewhere else.

1999
"Free"...somewhere else.

Parade
"Kiss"...somewhere else.

SOTT
"Play In The Sunshine"...somewhere else.
"U Got The Look"...get it out.
"Strange Relationship"...(get OVER it).
"I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man"...(get over it).
"It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night"...
(get over it ALL).

Emancipation
"Courtin' Time" production-wise, and stylistically it sounds like it would fit better on The Vault. The rest of the album except for disc 2 sounds like the antithesis of Prince and doesn't fit anywhere else in his catalog.

Batman
"Vicki Waiting" is wasted on that album.
This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes.

I always thought Strollin' didn't fit in on D&P.Glad he changed Horny Pony for Gett Off too, cuz that wouldn't have worked IMHO.Great B-side-would have been album filler tho.

These are the four most obvious ones that stick out to me:
1999: Free
Lovesexy: When 2 R Alone
prince: Blue Light
Rainbow Children: Wedding Feast

I was just listening to "Wherever u go, Whatever u do" and thinking that song belongs on one of his earlier albums like For You or Prince.
