The Undertaker (question)

On the album version of this song, Prince plays The Little Drummer Boy a few times during his guitar solos. Was this song recorded around Christmas, or was he just messin' around?

As soon as I'm done writing my analytical, all-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about the evolution and devolution of Come and then some, ULTIMATE Come-thread (it'll be a prince.org exclusive wink ), I want to write an equally ultimate The Undertaker/Chaos And Disorder thread for all us Prince nerds. biggrin

They also recorded a version of "Peach" during the Undertaker session
that wasn't used.

I'm glad you noticed that too. I'd say he was messin' around.
