The track 'Billy', sometimes referred to as 'Billy's Sunglasses' is one in which Prince asks 'Billy, where'd you get these glasses?' It is a lengthy track which later has Lisa Coleman's vocals on, and moves into 'Strange Relationship.'

The song 'Vibrator' features Vanity, with Prince, as the shopkeeper.

Both tracks appear together on at least one bootleg although they date from different time periods / sessions

'Billy' (sometimes referred to as 'Billy's Sunglasses' was recorded during a 1984 rehearsal.

'Vibrator' was recorded (originally planned for inclusion on a second Vanity 6 album) during 1983.

... cause Turn It Up says so!!!

This 'Billy/Strange Relationship' rehearsal is actually a pretty good showcase of bonkers guitar-playing at its best.
