Heard the 12" version recently....it is really cool, I love the humour in this song with the disapproving women looking at Prince!
I think this was originally intended for D and P but got replaced and consigned to a single instead...

Great song

No, it's not. You think Horny Toad. Pony was the flipside to Gett Off (in Europe at least)

TheFreakerFantastic said:

There is no 12" Version...
There was only one version of Horny Pony released.

And yes, it was originally going to be on Diamonds and Pearls but was
replaced by Gett Off.

Thank goodness. Horny Pony is naff.

The 12" single version...

I love when Prince rearranges the order of words like Yoda in order to make a rhyme work. This couplet in particular is one of my favorites:

And U can run all the way 2 Barcelona
But U can't hide, the Horny Pony getcha gonna

Prince, The Yoda Of Poetry?

As I said, there is NO 12" single version.
(it was never released on a 12" single either)

There is only ONE version of Horny Pony.
It's never been officially remixed or extended.

Normally I'd agree with you but this time you are a little off. Although there is no 12" version, it WAS on a 12" single, it's on the UK 12" of "Cream" on the B-side with "Gangster glam".

djdaffy1227 said:

But it's misleading to call it the '12" version', because there is only one version released.

I was agreeing with Boris that there was no extended or remix version of the song. Boris also said it was never on a 12" single when in fact it was. I was only pointing that out. I wasn't calling it a 12" version.

This was intended for D&P - it's even on the "album rap" on Push (and also on the lyrics for that song). It was replaced by Gett Off, but it looks like they just superimposed the new text instead of reprinting.

The song was released twice: originally in 1991 as a b-side to Cream, and again thru the NPGMC with a "disclaimer" about it not promoting premarital sex.

djdaffy1227 said:

Oh yes, my mistake. I'd forgotten that it was re-used on the UK Cream 12"
(and I've got that 12" too!)... but yeah, it still doesn't change the fact that
there is no "12 Inch Version" of the song.

If you say that you're listening to the "12 Inch Version" of a certain song
you are basically saying that this version is different to the 'regular' version
(usually extended or remixed). If you are not claiming that the version you
are listening to is somehow different to the regular version, then you are
using the term incorrectly.

A few days after my subscription to the Org, I made an appreciation thread for this song.

I love it, damn!

My favorite lines?

I'm talking about the dance that every parent fear the most!

Nice!

the song was also given away at the NPGMC , but featured that "NPG operator computerized womans voice into" added in
But besides that its the same version

Thanks Djdaffy for pointing this out to the disbelieving Mr.Fishpaw!!

I love it when P does that neighing after he asks the woman if she is alone, and she goes 'Oh, thats nasty!. Hilarious.

It was first released as a b-side on the US "Gett Off" cassette single.

Wouldn't "12" Single Version" be, like, an oxymoron or something?

what single was horny pony on in the US?

I have it on the B-sides of both US 45's for "Gett off" and "Cream"

djdaffy1227 said:

It was a B-side twice: Gett Off and Cream. I have 'Cream' on 12', on the b-side there are 'Horny Pony' and 'Gangster Glam'.

I don't particularly dig that song!
