Question about the end of Data Bank ('86)

First off, this is one of my favorite songs by him, released or otherwise.

I always get a chuckle out of the end of this song where the band 'ignores' his direction, and he gets annoyed.

But I've always wondered if is was 'real' or not. I can see both sides - it almost sounds like he's genuinely annoyed (especially when he asks Susan to 'fade the sh** out') but I don't think he would leave that on tape if it were real.

Well, it's an unauthorised boot, so I'm pretty sure Prince didn't have much say in what elements of the stolen recording got to be leaked.
RIP sad

Hey ! I dig it too ! Always makes me laugh !!! Plus, I like the horns and the fact that it is the same riff as in We can funk, speed up though.

I'm pretty sure it's staged. Just his sense of humor. lol
Prince's band would be fired if they were really that inept. nod

they're definitely playing around. Especially when Prince says, "That's dog, that's dog!" and "I didn't call that either!"

I love when Wendy & Lisa sing "do wah do wah"

biggrin
