I have this classic in my head. What's the history of it? I'm sure it was written with Morris/The Time in mind. It's fantastic.

It was intended for The Dream Factory and was part of at least 2 configurations of the LP set.

From The Vault:

“Movie Star” is a pop/funk novelty that pokes fun at movie celebrities. Prince portrays an unsophisticated film star who is preparing for a night out. The lyrics mention Gilbert (Davison) and Jerome (Benton), and refer to Prince as the Kid. A humorous spoken scene towards the end has Prince picking up a girl at a club and bringing her back to his “crib.” However, his attempt to seduce her fails as she falls asleep. The song has a light beat and the music alternates between a funky segment centered around a rhythm guitar part and a portion with a jerky high-pitched synth line and bass to the fore. The track was recorded in Prince’s home studio in March/April 1986, and like

“Dream Factory” and “Last Heart,” it was included on Dream Factory but was scrapped when Prince began working on Crystal Ball. The track sounds very much like something Prince could have written with Morris Day and The Time in mind, although the group was defunct when Prince cut the song.

I think it's one if his most unique and fluidly fun songs.

Manages to be funky, cartoonish, and nocturnal surreal.

I think it's a fun song. "Mo' drawz, mo' drawz!"
