I once started one or two threads about this, there were quite a lot of responses.
Maybe you can still find them.
No, it´s not a real Purple Rain track per se, it´s more or less Prince ad-libbing and improvising over the melody of Purple Rain, and the lyrics or adlibs contain a few elements from Another Lonely Christmas ( "....remember the time we swam naked in your father´s pool?" etc.)

Great track, though. Some of Prince´s old rehearsal improvisations , with all the hiss and noise in the background, still sound much better than a lot of his current material.I love the magic and the atmosphere of those old rehearsals.
" I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?"

That's a good subject...
When it comes to the song, "Shake," and U've gotta shake sumthin'...What is it that U've shaken 2 the song.

I've shaken a bunch of things...

A cassette tape
A little puzzle
A box of cereal
A Pepsi can with the tab inside. cool
"The Lion Sleeps Tonight...

Yep, it's a 1984 outtake, simply improvising over the basic Purple Rain harmonies.

(btw it's called "Gotta Shake This Feelin'" wink)

It is an expression, one that expresses emphatic agreement.

It's also a key lyrical component of the song,
where Prince sings, (and i think i got this right):

i gotta shake this feeling baby [cuz] i love you you, and how.
