This is a great song! From what I've read, Prince (and probably The Revolution) were rehearsing. Billy Sparxx walked in with these really ugly sunglasses, and Prince just started jamming and singing about it.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Billy is a very long funky song. But repetitive. I still love it though. I lot of good rare songs are on the Revelations boot. Rehearsals and what not.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

The "Billy's Sunglasses" I have (all 50+ minutes), is on a CD called Dirty Mind, but is actually a boot from Denmark with the following on it:

Vibrator Talk #1
Vibrator Talk #2
Vibrator
Climax
Lisa
Billy's Sunglasses

I was going to post a picture of the CD cover, but I guess I would get in trouble for that.

Did you all see Billy in the interview on the 'Rave un2 the year 2000' dvd?
That damned guy hasn't changed a bit.

Don't know how he looks like now, though.
