"Pop Life" was recorded on February 19, 1984 at Sunset Sound. He also recorded great songs like "Erotic City", "17 Days", "She's Always In My Hair", "Another Lonely Christmas", and "Paisley Park" during those sessions (which lasted from very late December 1983-late April 1984).

when you say it was recorded on febury 19 1984. do you imply it was recorded in a day ? Just curious

If you read what madhouseman wrote, the bulk of the track was recorded and mixed over 2 days in February. It was then left alone until September, when strings and other overdubs were done. Other edits were made a year later. So, the majority of the track took 2 days and it was tinkered with at various points thereafter.
