What's his is his, what's yours is yours
Unless U beat him at a game of cards

La la la la la la, souli-a-colia (Hey!)
(Souli-a-colia) (Hey!) {x2}

Good! Pretty good...

Intended for the Camille album, Prince recorded this song at Sunset Sound on October 28, 1986 on the same day as "Rockhard In A Funky Place". When the Camille album was shelved, the song was slated for inclusion on Prince's next album project, Crystal Ball. It was going to be the opening track segueing into "Play In the Sunshine". The NPG Music Club made a 1988 rehearsal recording available in September 2001, which means that all the Camille tracks have now been officially released, although the original studio version remains unreleased. "Rebirth Of the Flesh" is a rousing and somewhat chaotic rock, spearheaded by a charged guitar riff. Prince's vocal is speeded-up. The song features a nonsensical sing-along chorus, "La, la, la, la, la, la, Souli-a-Colia". The 1988 live rendition is quite faithful to the original studio recording. Miles Davis' early '50s classic Birth Of The Cool seems to have provided inspiration for the song title and some of the lyrics. Incidentally, Birth Of The Cool includes a track by Gerry Mulligan called "Venus De Milo", a title Prince borrowed for a Parade instrumental. The song introduces "the fathers of the new boogie cool", who have "got the beat you're looking for". They are guaranteed to rock the audience because they are from "the old school". Slightly altered, the introductory lyrics, "Kick drum pound on the two and four, all the party people get on the floor", turned up in "Escape" (the B-side of "Glam Slam" in 1988) and as the opening words of the Lovesexy show. The melody of the chorus "Walk Don't Walk" on Diamonds and Pearls also borrows from "Rebirth Of The Flesh".

"Rebirth of the Flesh" is THE BADDEST unreleased jam. That beat is thrice funky!! And them horns...DAMN! Such a shame the original was never released.
